What is the penalty code for motorcycle modification?

[JeffreyMarie]

Traffic violation code: 57042. According to Article 16 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": No unit or individual shall engage in the following acts: assembling motor vehicles or altering the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a vehicle without authorization. As long as the modifications do not involve the prohibited acts specified in the regulations, reasonable modifications are permitted. Common illegal modification penalty standards: 1. Changing the vehicle body color, modifying the vehicle engine (excluding engine type) or frame, and failing to complete the modification procedures within ten days will result in a warning or a fine of up to 200 yuan. 2. Changing the engine type, modifying the vehicle exhaust pipe, adding rear spoilers, or adding front searchlights will require restoration to the original condition and may result in a warning or a fine of up to 500 yuan. 3. Replacing tire specifications or adding body kits and protective devices will require restoration to the original condition and may result in a warning or a fine of up to 500 yuan.

The penalty code for motorcycle modifications is often discussed in my biker group. They say if you get caught by traffic police for illegal modifications, like swapping in a larger displacement engine or changing the color of the lights, the most common code is 12101. This falls under illegal modification of motor vehicles, with fines ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan according to traffic regulations, and some places even deduct 6 or 12 points. Last month, my buddy modified his exhaust to make it super loud, got caught, and was fined 500 yuan plus points deducted. He was also forced to restore it to the original condition—super annoying. So, be careful when modifying your bike. It's best to ask a legitimate modification shop about what changes are legal. Don't risk it just for looks—safe riding is what really matters.

Honestly, young motorcycle enthusiasts always love tinkering with modifications, like changing to a flashy appearance or boosting speed, but they should be wary of catching the attention of traffic police. The typical penalty code is 12101, which stands for illegal modifications. It's not just about fines—I've seen penalties starting from 200 yuan, going up to 2000 yuan, plus significant point deductions. At a recent gathering, a buddy complained that he got fined 300 yuan for upgrading his headlight, which exceeded brightness standards, and had to visit an inspection center to prove it was compliant. The key issue is that such modifications can easily lead to accidents—overly bright lights or noisy exhaust pipes are both hazards. It's best to check local traffic regulations first and avoid reckless modifications just for the sake of looking cool. Getting home safely is what truly matters.

If motorcycle modifications exceed regulations, such as illegal alterations to lighting or exhaust systems, the penalty code is 12101. Getting caught by traffic police for this is troublesome—fines over 200 yuan, point deductions are common, and you may even need to restore the bike to its original condition, wasting time. Ever wonder why it's banned? Safety is the major concern. Modified vehicles often have poor stability, higher collision risks, endangering both the rider and others. I advise fellow riders to regularly inspect their bikes, avoid flashy modifications for novelty, and promptly visit professional shops for repairs if issues arise. Following the rules ensures a safer ride.
