What are the penalties for driving a scrapped or assembled motor vehicle on the road?
2 Answers
Driving an assembled or scrapped vehicle on the road will result in the immediate revocation of the driver's license. Below are the specific procedures for handling vehicle scrapping: 1. Prepare the required materials for the scrapping procedure: Prepare the "Motor Vehicle Registration Form (Supplementary Table)", "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Suspension, Resumption/De-registration", "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" (unless not obtained), and the motor vehicle driving license. 2. Submit an application to the public security authorities: The owner of the scrapped vehicle should promptly submit an application to the public security authorities and complete the motor vehicle scrapping procedures. On the day of acceptance, the public security authorities will issue the "Motor Vehicle Scrapping Certificate" to the owner and instruct them to sell the scrapped vehicle to a scrapped vehicle recycling company.
Having driven for decades, I'm well aware of the risks of operating scrapped or assembled vehicles on the road. Scrapped vehicles have exceeded their service life, with braking systems and engines prone to failure, which can easily lead to serious accidents. In terms of penalties, traffic police impose fines of at least 2,000 yuan, deduct 12 points, or even revoke the driver's license, with the vehicle directly confiscated and forcibly scrapped. Assembled vehicles are worse, with randomly assembled parts that haven't undergone safety testing, attracting heavier fines up to 5,000 yuan when driven on the road, and possibly facing detention. I've seen similar cases where the driver was fully liable in accidents, proving not worth the risk. For everyone's safety, regular vehicle inspections and timely disposal of old cars are the right approach.
