The motorcycle is about to be scrapped, but it usually only runs less than 20,000 yuan. Can it be postponed for scrapping?
I am a knight sharing. This is a question posted by a car friend on the Q&A platform. I feel it is necessary to discuss it because it will be an actual situation encountered by many car friends.
1. Why are motorcycles forced to be scrapped?
Regarding this issue, simply put, the actual performance of the vehicle will affect the rights and interests of other road participants, both in terms of performance and because the exhaust gas does not meet environmental protection requirements.
If the current vehicle has some safety hazards due to its age and disrepair, then continuing to drive on the road will cause harm to yourself and other people. For example, older vehicles may spontaneously ignite and fail to brake. As the service life increases, exhaust emissions will also fail to meet environmental protection requirements, so vehicles that meet scrap standards need to be forced to be scrapped.
However, with the upgrading of technology, the continuous improvement of quality and the change of use of motorcycles at this stage, there will be no obvious decline in performance and no safety risks within the limited service life.
Especially those vehicles that are close to being scrapped but have not actually ridden many kilometers, they are basically in new car condition. Forcing them to be scrapped under such a premise is also a waste of resources. Therefore, many knowledgeable people are now calling for the reform of the mandatory scrapping regulations for motorcycles.
2. Can motorcycles be extended after expiration?
At this stage, according to the relevant content of my country's "Compulsory Scrapping of Motor Vehicles Regulations", motorcycles will have time and mileage restrictions, of which 8 to 10 years are required for two-wheeled motorcycles, with a cumulative mileage of 100,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is in good condition, it can be extended for up to three years, so that the effective service life of the two-wheeled motorcycles will become 13 years.
So the questioner has ridden a motorcycle for 20,000 kilometers. Whether he can apply for deferred scrapping mainly depends on the number of years from the date of registration to the present. Please note that the date of registration is not the date of invoice. This time period will be clearly marked on the driving license , so the subject of the question can take it out and take a look.
If the subject’s motorcycle has gone through ten years of ups and downs, then it can actually be used for another three years. Because the driving conditions of 20,000 kilometers meet the conditions of the vehicle being in good condition, the compulsory scrapping can be postponed, but this is based on the premise that there has been no major accident and no out-of-inspection.
Of course, there are also new regulations for the annual inspection of motorcycles at this stage, which will be relatively loose and will not be as strict as in previous years. Models that are less than or equal to ten years from the registration date only need to be inspected twice, and after ten years, they will be inspected once a year. This policy is also called by friends as the prelude to the reform of forced scrapping of motorcycles.
3. What if the motorcycle cannot be scrapped after it expires?
There is currently only one standard answer to this question, which is to reluctantly give up. It seems to be a good idea to transfer the property online to a family member who does not have a driver's license and then lie about it being stolen. However, it can only be displayed at home and is no longer qualified to go on the road, so its actual operability is not high. It is not essentially different from forced scrapping, except that you can see the car.
In summary, before the mandatory scrapping regulations for motorcycles are not reformed, vehicles with a small mileage will be helpless when facing the mandatory scrapping regulations. Therefore, when choosing a car, you must consider some practical models based on your actual needs. It is best to maximize its energy within a limited period of use, so that you will not be so aggrieved when faced with forced scrapping. Of course, with the efforts of all parties, it is hoped that mandatory scrapping and annual vehicle inspections will usher in major reforms.
