What are the penalties for driving a motorcycle without inspection?

[SanTheo]

Driving a motorcycle without inspection will result in a fine and 3 demerit points. If the motorcycle has not been inspected for 3 consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period and has not obtained the inspection qualification mark, it will be forcibly scrapped. Below is an introduction to motorcycle inspection knowledge: 1. Overview of motorcycle inspection: exhaust emission test, violation check, deposit payment, appearance inspection, on-site inspection, final review, fee payment, and label collection. 2. Motorcycle inspection schedule: According to the new regulations, motorcycles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 4 years; after reaching or exceeding 4 years, they must be inspected annually.

Riding an uninspected motorcycle is no trivial matter. I made a similar mistake when I was younger—I rode an old bike without an annual inspection around the city and got caught by traffic police. I was fined 200 RMB, had 3 points deducted from my license, and the bike was temporarily impounded. It happened during rush hour, and I wasted a lot of time dealing with it, which was frustrating. According to traffic laws, failing to inspect a motorcycle on time is a violation and can lead to accidents due to brake or lighting issues. Police usually issue a warning first, then a fine, and may even tow the vehicle in severe cases. I recommend riders set a phone reminder to get their annual inspection done a month early each year—it saves money and ensures safety. Don’t wait until something goes wrong to regret it. Last year, I stuck to this routine, and my bike ran smoothly, avoiding a lot of trouble.

Riding a motorcycle without passing the annual inspection can lead to severe penalties. A friend of mine recently got caught: a fine of 200 yuan, at least 3 points deducted from the driver's license, and sometimes the vehicle may be towed and temporarily impounded. This is crucial because the annual inspection is key to testing the vehicle's safety, such as the braking system and tire wear. If these aren't checked properly, skidding while speeding could be life-threatening. I always pay special attention to these during regular maintenance, like changing the oil and checking the chain. The penalty isn't the biggest concern; what's scarier is the high compensation costs or insurance refusal in case of an accident. I suggest not being lazy—get your bike pre-checked at a repair shop before the annual inspection. Spending a little money ensures safety. Safety always comes first. Mark the date in your planner or an app to develop good habits and stay worry-free.

I've been riding motorcycles for many years and have personally experienced the consequences of failing an inspection. Last time, I forgot the annual inspection date, got stopped by traffic police while riding, was fined 200 yuan, had 3 points deducted, and had my bike towed on the spot. It took me half a day to retrieve it, and I had to fix a few minor issues before it passed inspection. The lesson was profound: the fine is a small matter, but the key is the wasted time and the mental distress. I recommend everyone to get their annual inspections done on time to avoid similar troubles.
