Veteran drivers in the mainland know that these huge numbers of scrapped cars are not something that can be discarded or bought and sold casually, and China has clear regulations on the disposal of scrapped vehicles.
Generally speaking, if a car is so rotten that it can no longer be used, the owner needs to go to the vehicle management office to go through the cancellation procedures in accordance with the relevant regulations, complete the scrapping process of a car, and pay a certain processing fee in the process of applying for cancellation.
Anyway, they can't be used, these scrapped cars are no different from scrap iron, why does the state have to go so much trouble to let the car owner go to the vehicle management office to go through the cancellation procedures? And the car owner has to pay for the expenses incurred in the process of processing, so can't the scrapped vehicle be sold directly as scrap iron?
What are the consequences of skipping the DMV and selling scrapped cars for scrap iron?
According to a report by Xinhua News Agency in January, the mainland's automobile production and sales in 2023 have exceeded the 30 million mark. By the end of 2023, the number of motor vehicles in our country has reached 440 million.
When new cars appear, old cars will be eliminated, and there will be many scrapped vehicles in the mainland every year. According to statistics, the total number of scrapped domestic cars in mainland China has increased by 7.56 million last year, and the scrapping rate of domestic vehicles is still increasing year by year, which means that more and more cars are scrapped.
However, in the process of handling the cancellation procedures for scrapped vehicles, there will be certain costs due to subsequent links such as trailers and dismantling of old vehicles, which need to be paid by the car owner. Therefore, in order to save trouble and money, some car owners will choose to secretly dispose of the scrapped car by themselves and sell it as scrap iron to save this disposal fee.
But in our country, there are already clear laws and regulations that regulate the process of disposal of scrapped cars.
In addition to the fact that the owner must go to the vehicle management office to go through the cancellation procedures, according to the "Measures for the Management of Scrapped Motor Vehicle Recycling" issued in 2019, the disposal unit that handles scrapped vehicles must also obtain a qualification certificate.
This means that disposing of scrapped vehicles without permission is not only illegal for the owner, but also for the disposal unit.
Since there are clear regulations, scrapped cars must be reported to the vehicle management office for disposal. If you violate the regulations and deal with it privately, in addition to being found to be punished, in fact, it will cause very troublesome consequences to the owner himself to use, buy and sell the vehicle in the future, and these consequences are mainly in five aspects.
The first consequence is that it will directly affect the licensing of the owner's new car. The registration form of the vehicle management office is like the "household registration book" of the car owner, and the number of cars of the owner will be recorded in the registration form, so only by going through the formal procedures to cancel the scrapped vehicle, its "household registration" can be successfully cancelled.
Writing off a scrapped vehicle is just like someone passing away and someone needs to go to the public security bureau to cancel their household registration. If you don't go through this cancellation process, the next time the car owner needs to go to the household to buy a new car, it will be affected, and even the new car will not be able to be licensed.
The second consequence is to affect the annual inspection of other cars under the owner's name, thus affecting the use of the car. Because during the annual inspection, the staff will inspect the car under the owner's name, and may also ask the owner about the annual inspection of other vehicles.
However, if the owner sells the car as scrap iron, not to mention the annual inspection, it may not even be able to see the parts of the car, so it is very likely that the owner will be exposed to the illegal and private disposal of scrapped cars, which will lead to the owner being punished.
The third consequence is that it will bring great legal risks to the car owner. Because although scrapped cars are sold as scrap iron, no one can say what buyers who buy scrapped cars will do with these cars.
If it is just disassembled and sold parts, it will not matter, but if it is encountered by a black-hearted buyer who modifies the car he bought and resells it, if something goes wrong with the car, it will cause great trouble to the original owner. Because the car is still in the name of the original owner, as the legal owner, you need to bear legal responsibility.
This fourth consequence is to affect the speed and process of replacing the driver's license. Because the validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license is not all long-term, it is also valid for 6 years and 10 years in addition to the long-term.
Therefore, when the driver's license is about to expire or accidentally lost, the owner has to apply for a replacement, but if the owner does not deal with the scrapped vehicle according to the prescribed process, then there will be a lot of replacement processes, which will affect the process of replacing the driver's license and waste more time.
The last consequence is that if you secretly sell scrapped vehicles, after being discovered, according to the "Scrapped Motor Vehicle Recycling Management Measures", the relevant departments can confiscate these scrapped vehicles bought and sold by units that have not obtained the qualification of scrapped motor vehicle recycling, and even will be fined heavily. Not only did he not save money, but he also lost money, causing a lot of losses to both parties.
Therefore, Xiaobian is here to remind all old drivers that they must abide by the law, do not apply for cancellation in order to save that processing fee or be troublesome, and do not comply with the regulations to cancel the vehicle.
Can't handle it yourself?
The state has made such strict regulations on the process of disposing of scrapped vehicles, why is it that there are laws and regulations and fines, why must these scrapped vehicles go to the vehicle management office for reimbursement and disposal? Wouldn't it be troublesome to sell them directly?
Of course, what is certain here is that the state does not control so vigorously for the purpose of collecting processing fees, and the processing fees are not for the relevant management departments, but for trailers and processing units. The reason why it is so strict is mainly due to two considerations.
One is to maintain traffic order and safety. Our country implements the policy of annual inspection and vehicle scrapping, so the vehicles that are still on the road are basically produced and sold in the past ten years, and it is very rare for cars with a life span of more than 20 years to appear on the road.
This is mainly based on safety considerations, after all, early cars must have had problems such as mechanical failures caused by disrepair due to technical limitations and long-term use.
If a car with potential safety hazards is allowed on the road, it is very dangerous and irresponsible for both the owner and the pedestrian. Therefore, each car must be sent for inspection to ensure its normal performance and eliminate driving risks.
And a car that has been scrapped is even more dangerous. Maybe it can't drive normally, but after illegal processing, it was repaired and modified by black-hearted merchants and sold, and the safety hazards are hard to imagine.
The second is actually to prevent these illegally disposed of scrapped vehicles from being used by criminals. The safety issues mentioned above are actually better situations, if they are only sold to individuals to drive normally, the problem is only the safety of driving, and the impact on the original owner is not very serious.
But if they are sold to some lawbreakers, if they use these cars to kill people, steal goods, sell drugs and rob them, especially if they are used to sell drugs, the joint and several liability of the original car owner after being caught is very large.
And now the system is gradually improving, the process is not complicated, and many places can even apply for cancellation procedures on the APP. Also, even if you have to pay a processing fee, it's not particularly expensive, so in order to avoid other problems, it's better to spend more time going through the process.
If I can't go through the procedure, what should I do in special circumstances?
Reading this, some friends may think, if there is a special situation that cannot go through the procedure to deal with the scrapped vehicle, what should we do? Of course, the relevant departments have also considered this problem and proposed a solution.
For example, the "special circumstances" are the kind of vehicles that are mortgaged and deducted by the court because the owner violates the law before the vehicle is scrapped, and this kind of car needs to be handed over to the traffic police management department and administrative department of the area where the court is located to solve the scrapping age.
If you really have a special situation and can't cancel the vehicle normally, it is best to apply or consult with the traffic management department first, and then deal with the scrapped vehicle according to the plan they give, such as signing a written commitment and then going through the procedure to scrap the vehicle, so as to minimize the risk and not affect your subsequent use of the vehicle.
