As an important means of transportation in modern society, as people's income level increases, the number of people who can afford cars is also increasing. However, it should be noted that cars are essentially a consumable. As the use time continues to extend, the performance of the car will be damaged and the safety factor will become lower and lower. After reaching a certain usage standard, the car will be scrapped. It is not difficult to understand that cars are scrapped. Some car owners will also follow the corresponding regulations and deal with cars that meet the scrapped standards in accordance with regular procedures. However, from real life, we can find that there are many vehicles abandoned by car owners on many roads. These vehicles no longer have the value of driving to a certain extent, but the car owner did not directly scrap the vehicle in accordance with relevant regulations, but instead threw it on the roadside without caring. Such cars are generally called "zombie cars". So why do these car owners choose to throw away the cars directly without scrapping them?
Domestic car scrapping standards have also changed many times with the times. For example, the scrapping standard stipulated in 1991 is that if the mileage of a car exceeds 700,000 km, it must be forced to be scrapped. Later, this standard was changed to cars with a value of more than 60km. Under the corresponding national subsidies, car owners need to scrap them.
It should be noted that the scrapping standards of different cars may be different. It is possible for ordinary private cars to be scrapped according to the standards of 60km or 70km. However, for those vehicles with operational nature, forced scrapping must be carried out if the driving life reaches eight years.
Generally speaking, when cars are scrapped, the state also has corresponding subsidies, which can reduce the cost of people scrapping cars to a certain extent. So why do some car owners still choose to abandon their cars directly even if they have subsidies? Specifically, there are three main reasons.
First of all, some vehicles discarded by people on the roadside may be forced to be discarded by the owner, and these vehicles may fall into the scope of the incident. When car owners scrap their cars, they need to hand over the scrapped cars to the vehicle management office, and the vehicle management office will also strictly check the specific situation of each scrapped car.
In this way, if some vehicles involved in criminal cases or illegal transportation are found by the vehicle management office during scrapping, the relevant owners of these vehicles may face corresponding punishments and may even be plagued by lawsuits. Therefore, in order to reduce the trouble, some people involved dare not go to the vehicle management office to scrap the car normally.
Of course, for most car owners, the reason why they are unwilling to go to the vehicle management office to scrap cars is mainly based on the following two reasons. On the one hand, it is because the profits of scrapping do not match the actual situation. Although the vehicle management office will also give car owners certain subsidies when the vehicle management office scraps the car, these subsidies are very small.
Because when the vehicle management handles the car, it does not care about the original value of the car, but only calculates the subsidy based on the weight of the car. Generally speaking, the subsidy given to car owners by the vehicle management office is only a few hundred yuan. Instead of this, many people might as well think about throwing away the car directly. Not only that, although some cars themselves have met the scrapping standards, the relevant parts in the cars may be replaced by the owner. Moreover, these newly replaced parts are of value, so many car owners often choose to disassemble parts and throw them into the car.
On the other hand, it is because the process of car scrapping is very complicated. The process of scrapping cars is not as simple as people think, and this process is strictly and explicitly stipulated. If the car owner wants to scrap the car, he must bring his personal certificate and certificate proof that the car belongs to him, and then go to the relevant department to fill out the vehicle cancellation form and get a notice to allow scrapping.Then car owners also need to take these documents to handle the corresponding inspection procedures of the vehicle. It will take at least several weeks, or even as many months to complete these procedures.
More importantly, when car owners go through vehicle scrapping procedures, they need to go to different institutions to handle the vehicle. The working hours of these institutions may conflict with the personal working hours of the car owner, so many people can only take leave to specifically handle the scrapping procedures of the car. This not only wastes people's time, but also brings a bad impression on the boss of their work unit. Therefore, in order to save these complicated troubles, many car owners simply throw away scrapped cars.
Conclusion:
Generally speaking, those "zombie cars" thrown on the road by car owners have become issues that many cities need to pay great attention to. These cars that are thrown away at will not only affect urban traffic, but also are not conducive to the formation of urban appearance. More importantly, these cars have certain safety hazards, and under long-term wind and rain, certain public safety problems may arise.
In order to reduce the travel of "zombie cars", relevant departments have also made efforts. For example, some cities have now increased the compensation amount for car scrapping, thus further ensuring the interests of car owners to a certain extent. Moreover, when some cities scrapped cars, car owners are allowed to disassemble some parts of the car according to actual conditions and calculate according to the corresponding price. If these policies can be fully popularized, the number of cars directly discarded by car owners will gradually decrease, thereby further maintaining the city's public environment.
Today's topic: "Zombie cars" are increasing, why do most car owners rather throw their cars away than send them to scrap?
