What are the consequences of delaying vehicle inspection?
2 Answers
According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law", vehicles that fail to undergo annual inspection on time will result in a fine of 200 yuan and 3 demerit points for the driver, and the vehicle will be temporarily impounded. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspection: 1. Concept: Also known as motor vehicle inspection. The inspection items and scope vary depending on the usage nature of the motor vehicle. 2. Regulations: If a vehicle is found by traffic police on the road without annual inspection, the owner will be fined or the vehicle will be impounded. Additionally, in insurance contracts, vehicles that have not undergone timely annual inspection are considered unqualified, and no claims will be paid in the event of an insurance accident.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I've witnessed the severe consequences of delayed vehicle inspections firsthand. First, traffic police will impose a 200-yuan fine and deduct 3 points without negotiation. Worse yet, if caught by electronic surveillance while driving, your vehicle will be impounded immediately. Most critically, insurance coverage becomes void. A friend of mine rear-ended another car during the overdue inspection period, and the insurance company refused to pay a single cent—he had to fork out over 50,000 yuan for repairs. There are also vehicle safety concerns: excessively worn tires not replaced in time, brake pads nearly worn through—these risks are like ticking time bombs. Remember, these troubles can arise after just one month overdue, and exceeding three inspection cycles leads directly to mandatory scrapping. Everyone should get their annual inspections done on time!
