What to do if a motorcycle's vehicle license is found expired by traffic police?
2 Answers
Motorcycles without annual inspection and with expired vehicle licenses are not allowed on the road. If caught, 3 points will be deducted, and a fine will be imposed. If the motorcycle has reached the scrapping standard, a fine will be issued, the driver's license will be revoked, and the motorcycle will be impounded for mandatory scrapping. If the motorcycle's vehicle license has expired, please drive to the local vehicle management office as soon as possible with the original vehicle license and the original motor vehicle traffic accident liability compulsory insurance certificate valid for more than 15 days to complete the annual inspection. Below is the relevant content introduction: 1. The expiration of the vehicle license refers to the vehicle license itself exceeding the specified period. This situation is the same as not having a vehicle license, and thus the vehicle cannot be driven on the road. This can be considered as driving without a license, and if discovered, corresponding penalties will be imposed; 2. If encountering the above two situations, it is necessary to simultaneously reapply for a replacement vehicle license. Only by obtaining a new vehicle license can the vehicle be allowed on the road. When applying for a replacement, you need to bring your ID card, driver's license, four one-inch white background color photos, and a medical examination form to the local vehicle management office for reapplication.
Last year, I rode my motorcycle to work and was stopped by traffic police who found that the vehicle license had expired. I was fined 200 RMB on the spot and had one point deducted from my license. I quickly went to the local DMV to update the paperwork—just bring your ID and a photo of the motorcycle. If the renewal is delayed for more than three months, the vehicle might be directly scrapped, so don’t procrastinate. Reminding everyone to set phone alerts to check document validity—safe driving is crucial, so don’t take this lightly.
