What are the consequences of not scrapping a motor vehicle for the owner?

[DeJace]

If a motor vehicle is not scrapped and is registered under one's own name, it will affect the renewal or annual inspection of one's driver's license. Driving a scrapped vehicle and getting into an accident: 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 owner will still be required to bear the compensation limit of the compulsory traffic insurance. More seriously, if the accident results in serious injury to one person, the owner will be held primarily responsible and may face criminal charges. Driving a scrapped vehicle is an aggravating circumstance, and normally, probation will not be 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 modified vehicle is involved in an accident, authorities can trace these identifiers back to the original owner, who will undoubtedly face some trouble and unnecessary losses.
