How many points are deducted for being caught with a modified exhaust?
1 Answers
Illegal vehicle modifications result in a fine and 6 points deducted. Unauthorized vehicle modifications refer to those made without approval from relevant authorities. The Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China is enacted to maintain road traffic order, prevent and reduce traffic accidents, protect personal safety, safeguard the property safety and other legitimate rights and interests of citizens, legal persons, and other organizations, and improve traffic efficiency. The following behaviors will be directly penalized by traffic police: 1. Behavior one: Installing detachable license plate frames. Many citizens use detachable license plate frames to protect their license plates, but such vehicles will be deemed unqualified and cannot pass annual inspections. 2. Behavior two: Changing the vehicle color, replacing the engine, or applying non-compliant window tinting. Many young car owners are keen on modifying the appearance and interior of their vehicles, some even replacing the engine. According to relevant laws, vehicles must match the factory information before registration, and after registration, they must match the information recorded on the vehicle registration certificate. Changing the vehicle color, tires, etc., is not allowed without authorization. 3. Behavior three: Installing high-intensity xenon headlights. Many car owners find their headlights insufficiently bright for night driving and choose to install high-intensity xenon headlights without authorization. According to relevant regulations, added or modified xenon headlights will definitely fail annual inspections. Privately installed xenon headlights will be penalized under "improper use of vehicle lights," resulting in a fine and 1 point deducted.
