What is the penalty for a motorcycle not being inspected for 6 years?
2 Answers
Motorcycle not inspected for 6 years will be penalized as follows: Introduction: Motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic regulations shall be given a warning or fined. If the inspection is overdue for less than three years, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law", a fine of 200 plus 3 demerit points will be imposed, and the inspection can be renewed after the penalty is processed. Penalty details: First, the vehicle will be impounded, and the standard penalty is a fine. The driver's license will be deducted 3 points. If the traffic police issue a penalty decision to the owner, the code on it will be 1340. Vehicles that have not been inspected generally have not purchased the compulsory traffic insurance for that year, because the vehicle inspection (motorcycle) is every two years, and the insurance is purchased annually. The standard penalty is double the insurance premium.
I've been riding motorcycles for ten years and know that annual inspections can't be delayed. Six years ago, a friend of mine neglected it once, got caught after six years without inspection, and was fined over 1,000 yuan. The exact amount depends on local traffic regulations—places like Shanghai or Guangzhou impose heavier penalties, possibly starting at 200 yuan and going up to 2,000. The key issue is the penalty points and the potential revocation of your license plate, which could render your bike unusable. I suggest checking the status at the vehicle management office immediately. Catching up on inspections might also require repairs, potentially costing two to three thousand yuan. Don't underestimate this issue—delaying it carries huge risks, and in case of an accident, insurance won't cover you.
