Who Will Be Affected by Vehicle Transfer Without Registration?
2 Answers
When a traffic accident occurs, vehicles that have been transferred without registration will still involve the original owner. Therefore, when the vehicle's registration status changes, it is recommended to complete the registration and related procedures within 30 days of the transfer. The impacts of failing to register a vehicle more than 30 days after transfer include: 1. No record after transfer: After the vehicle is transferred, there will be no record at the vehicle management office, and the vehicle will be considered a 'black car.' Once on the road, it faces being checked, with penalties including fines and demerit points, as well as potential legal liabilities. 2. Restricted services: If the owner needs to carry out other transfer registration services, some services may be restricted due to the vehicle's unregistered status. 3. License plate retention restrictions: For vehicles that meet the conditions for retaining license plates and wish to continue using these 'attractive' plates, it will not be possible to do so if the vehicle is transferred without registration.
I sold a used car a while ago, and the buyer only transferred the vehicle record without completing the registration transfer. Now, a bunch of problems have landed on my lap. The record is still under my name, and when the new owner drives it, the police find the record blank, so the tickets are sent to my home—I'm baffled by the blame. The insurance company also says the policy is invalid, and if an accident happens, I’d be fully liable. I’ve urged them several times to fix it, but nothing’s been done. Now, my annual inspection is stuck, and I can’t even get a loan approved for a new car. This not only affects the new owner’s ability to drive normally but also disrupts my life, leaving me worried about legal troubles every day. From now on, I’ll make sure to closely monitor the registration transfer—no slacking off in future transactions.
