What are the consequences of not scrapping a motor vehicle when it expires?
1 Answers
If a car has reached its scrapping period but has not been scrapped, it will affect the renewal of the driver's license or annual inspection. Driving a car that has not undergone the annual inspection may result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan, revocation of the driver's license, and mandatory scrapping of the car, with all costs borne by the owner. More information on vehicle scrapping is as follows: 1. Consequences: If an accident occurs while driving a scrapped vehicle, even if the other party is largely at fault, the owner will still be required to bear the compulsory traffic insurance compensation limit, with a maximum compensation of 122,000 yuan. More seriously, if the accident causes 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 probation is generally not granted. 2. Cannot be sold as scrap: Additionally, if the owner sells the car as scrap, some illegal elements may retain the vehicle's identification marks such as the engine number and chassis number and install them on other vehicles. Once such a modified vehicle is involved in an accident, authorities can trace it back to the original owner through these identification marks, which will inevitably lead to trouble and unnecessary losses for the original owner.
