2 Answers
The consequences of not conducting annual inspection for motorcycles include: 1. Fines and penalty points: If a vehicle fails to undergo regular safety technical inspection as required, a fine will be imposed and 3 penalty points will be recorded. 2. Violation of regulations: Motor vehicles driven on the road that fail to undergo regular safety technical inspection as required, i.e., those that do not participate in the annual inspection, violate Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law. Motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules will be warned or fined. The precautions for motorcycle and car annual inspections are as follows: 1. License plate: If the license plate is damaged, worn, or faded, replace it in advance; if the anti-theft caps on the license plate are missing, replenish them. 2. Reflective strips: They should be affixed according to the national standard specifications, preferably under the guidance of staff to ensure the photos uploaded to the vehicle management platform pass the review at once. 3. Seats: For vehicles with 7 or more seats, such as minivans, all seats must be fully installed, matching the number of seats on the vehicle registration certificate, and each seat must have a seat belt. 4. Door emblems: The characters sprayed on the door emblems must match those on the vehicle registration certificate. 5. Additional parts: Added footboards, flashing lights, etc., must be removed, and modified rims must be replaced with the original ones. 6. Warning signs: All vehicles must be equipped with triangular warning signs. (Trucks also need to be equipped with fire extinguishers.) 7. Stickers: Any stickers on the rear windshield must be removed. 8. Bumpers: If damaged, they must be replaced in advance, and any tape must be peeled off.
Not getting your motorcycle inspected annually can lead to serious consequences. I remember when I first started riding, I skipped the inspection out of laziness and ended up being pulled over by the police. I was fined 200 yuan and had points deducted from my license. If caught multiple times, your bike could be impounded or even scrapped, making it unrideable. Worse yet, if you're involved in an accident, the insurance company might refuse to cover the damages, leaving you fully responsible. Thinking back, it's scary—what if the brakes fail due to lack of inspection, causing harm to yourself or others? That’s why I now get my bike inspected every year, replacing small parts as needed, so I can ride with peace of mind. During peak inspection periods, you can’t avoid checks, so why invite trouble? I recommend handling it early—it saves both money and hassle.
