1 Answers
If a car has reached its end-of-life period but has not been scrapped, it may affect the renewal of the driver's license or the annual inspection. Driving a car that has not undergone the required inspection may result in fines, revocation of the driver's license, and mandatory scrapping of the vehicle, with all costs borne by the owner. Here are the relevant details: Regulations: According to Article 100 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': Driving a motor vehicle that has been assembled or has reached the end-of-life standard on the road, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate the vehicle and enforce mandatory scrapping. The driver of such a vehicle will be fined and have their motor vehicle driver's license revoked. Important Notes: Selling a motor vehicle that has reached the end-of-life standard will result in the confiscation of illegal gains and a fine equal to the sales amount. The vehicle will be handled according to the provisions of the first paragraph of this article.
