Rules - China - Police intensify efforts to dismantle vehicles
China requires that each vehicle is disposed of after a certain number of years
Shanghai,China -Shanghai Daily, by Dong Zhen -30 June 2006: -- More than 1,000 vehicles were sent to a local automobile dismantling factory yesterday for destruction as traffic police cracked down on vehicles that were beyond their legal disposal date... Police were also intensifying their efforts to remove and destroy illegal cars made from old car parts... China requires that each vehicle is disposed of after a certain number of years. Sedans, for example, need to be destroyed when they become 15 years old. China also bans cobbling cars together using collections of old parts, to build so-called black vehicles, which refers to motorbikes and four-wheelers that were produced with old or disposed car parts such as engines... Traffic police sent more than 9,200 vehicles for destruction since May 20... They said most of these illegal vehicles were brought by locals at low prices from out of the city... Such troubled vehicles were operated more commonly in the city's outskirts, engaging in cargo transport or underground taxi service, police said, and add: these vehicles are involved in deadly road mishaps every year, often because of their poor condition...
