What are the penalties for not inspecting a car for two years?
2 Answers
If a car has not been inspected for more than two years, the owner will face a fine, a deduction of 3 points, and the vehicle may be impounded. The owner must bring relevant documents and procedures to the traffic police department within 30 days to handle the matter and apply for a supplementary vehicle inspection. However, the vehicle can only be moved by towing and is not allowed to be driven on the road. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection (Vehicles-inspection), also known as motor vehicle inspection. Depending on the nature of the vehicle's use, the inspection items and scope may vary. Inspection items: According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for the Qualification and Assessment of Inspection and Testing Institutions—Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions," motor vehicle inspections include three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive vehicle performance inspection.
I've got experience with this! If your car hasn't undergone annual inspection for two years, you're in big trouble. First off, if caught by traffic police on the road, you'll get 3 demerit points and a 200 yuan fine. But that's not all—your compulsory traffic insurance will become invalid immediately. If an accident happens, the insurance company won't pay a penny, leaving you to cover all repair costs yourself. The scariest part is that your car might be forcibly scrapped. Last year, my neighbor's old Buick Excelle couldn't even get a late inspection after three years of neglect. And don't think parking it at home solves anything—the vehicle records get automatically locked, preventing any ownership transfer. My advice: get it inspected ASAP. Make sure to clear all traffic violations first. Right now, inspection stations have queues lasting at least half a day, so go early!
