What are the consequences besides fines for driving a scrapped motor vehicle on the road?
1 Answers
Driving a scrapped motor vehicle on the road can result in the revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license in addition to fines. Accidents involving scrapped vehicles: If an accident occurs while driving a scrapped vehicle, even if the other party is largely at fault, in cases involving personal injury or death, the driver may still be required to bear the compensation limit of compulsory traffic insurance. More severely, if the accident causes serious injury to one person and the driver is deemed primarily responsible, they may face criminal charges. Driving a scrapped vehicle is considered an aggravating circumstance, and probation is usually not granted. Consequences of selling the vehicle as scrap: If the owner sells the vehicle as scrap, identifiers such as the engine number and chassis number may be retained by some criminals and installed on other vehicles. If such a reassembled vehicle is involved in an accident, authorities can trace these identifiers back to the original owner, who may then face troubles and unnecessary losses.
