What are the penalties for vehicle inspection omission?
2 Answers
According to relevant laws and regulations, if a vehicle fails to undergo self-inspection, the penalty standard includes a fine and a deduction of 3 points, along with a fine of twice the compulsory traffic insurance premium. Additionally, the vehicle must undergo re-inspection. The penalties for vehicle inspection omission are as follows: 1. If the inspection is overdue by less than 3 months: The traffic police will issue an oral warning to the owner but will not impose any penalties. The owner can proceed with the normal annual inspection procedures. 2. If the inspection is overdue by more than 3 months but less than 2 years: A fine will be imposed, and 3 points will be deducted. After handling the violation, the owner can proceed with the normal annual inspection procedures. 3. If the inspection is overdue by more than 2 years: The vehicle management office will cancel the vehicle's motor vehicle file, making it impossible to proceed with the annual inspection. To restore the annual inspection, the owner must pay the corresponding fine. 4. If the inspection is overdue by more than three cycles: The vehicle management office will forcibly scrap the motor vehicle.
Having driven for decades, I've personally experienced the hassle of failing annual inspections. A ticket can cost you at least a few hundred bucks, ranging from 200 to 1000 yuan depending on the city. If you delay repairs, the police can directly deduct points from your license, and your car can't even hit the road—pretty frustrating. My advice is to fix issues promptly; don't lose big over small savings. Regular maintenance is key. Before each inspection, check your brakes, lights, etc., to save a lot of trouble. If an accident happens, insurance might even deny your claim—that’d be a huge loss.
