What are the consequences if a vehicle fails the inspection and is caught by traffic police?

Here are the consequences of being caught driving a vehicle that failed the inspection: 1. Penalty: If caught driving an uninspected vehicle, traffic police may impound the vehicle and deduct 3 points from the driver's license. 2. Insurance: In case of an accident while driving an uninspected vehicle, some insurance companies may refuse to compensate. Certain insurance policies contain clauses stating that if a vehicle fails to undergo inspection as required or does not pass inspection, the insurance company shall be exempt from liability for compensation. 3. Solution: Generally, if the inspection is completed within three months voluntarily, a verbal warning may be issued at most. However, if the inspection is overdue by more than three months, a fine will be imposed along with a deduction of 3 points.

Just had a nerve-wracking experience getting pulled over for an expired vehicle inspection. The traffic officer immediately directed me to pull over and checked my documents. First, I faced accumulating late fees at 1% daily interest. The critical issue was that insurance becomes invalid once the inspection is overdue - if an accident happened, the insurer would absolutely deny coverage. The biggest headache was learning that missing three inspection cycles leads to mandatory vehicle scrapping. On the spot, I got 3 points deducted from my license and had to pay a 1900 yuan double fine for compulsory traffic insurance. When I later went for the overdue inspection, the repair shop found the brake pads were nearly worn through - terrifying to think about these hidden dangers we normally don't notice. My advice: set an annual inspection reminder alarm on your phone, don't delay like I did.

We in the transportation industry dread the inspection of expired vehicle registration the most. Fines and penalty points are minor issues. The key problem is that the vehicle gets impounded on the spot, forcing us to call a tow truck to haul it to the inspection station. During the re-inspection, they check all the lights and brakes, and when they found my wipers were worn out, replacing them cost another 200 yuan. If you get into a scrape during the expired registration period, compulsory traffic insurance won't cover it, leaving you to pay out of pocket. I heard someone had to pay 50,000 yuan in medical bills because of this. Now checking the license expiration date every month has become a habit, and I keep the inspection station's phone number on my rearview mirror, driving straight there before the deadline.

That day I was rushing to a meeting when stopped at the highway checkpoint. The traffic officer scanned the tablet and said my inspection was overdue by four months. Got 3 points deducted from my license plus a 950 yuan fine for compulsory insurance default. The worst part was the two-hour delay caused me to miss a crucial contract signing. During reinspection, abnormal tire pressure was found - the mechanic warned continued driving risked a blowout. Learned my lesson: now I schedule annual inspections every January without fail, even tucking the inspection slip in my vehicle registration as a reminder. My colleague's smarter - programmed the car's infotainment system with automatic inspection alerts.
