What are the consequences of overdue vehicle inspection?
2 Answers
Driving a vehicle with overdue inspection is considered illegal. The traffic management authorities will impound the motor vehicle, and insurance companies may refuse claims in the event of a traffic accident. If the inspection is overdue for more than three inspection cycles, the motor vehicle will be forcibly scrapped. Advance time for vehicle inspection: The motor vehicle inspection can be completed up to three months in advance. Completing the inspection ahead of time can avoid the situation of vehicle inspection delinquency. Once a vehicle's inspection is overdue, it is considered illegal and is not allowed to be driven on the road. If driven, any resulting traffic accidents will not be covered by insurance, and the individual will bear full responsibility. Methods of vehicle inspection: There are two ways to conduct motor vehicle inspection. One is through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123," and the other is by directly visiting the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authorities. Only by effectively completing the vehicle inspection can the use of the vehicle remain problem-free and legal.
Last time I didn't get my car inspected on time and delayed it for several months. As a result, I was stopped by traffic police on the road, fined 200 yuan, and had points deducted. What's more troublesome is that when I later had a minor scrape, the insurance company actually refused to pay, saying it was because the inspection was overdue, so I had to pay the repair costs myself. The car was also temporarily impounded for two days and couldn't be driven. The longer you delay, the bigger the problems: the vehicle's safety isn't guaranteed, you don't even know if the brake lights are working, and if something serious happens, it would be disastrous. The insurance record is damaged, making future insurance purchases more expensive. I suggest everyone set a phone reminder to go for the inspection a month before it's due, don't be lazy like me, saving that little bit of time isn't worth it.
