Can I get my vehicle inspected during the National Day holiday?
2 Answers
Vehicle inspection is not available during the National Day holiday, as it is a statutory holiday and relevant staff members are off duty. Vehicle Annual Inspection: It is a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, which means conducting an annual inspection in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". Benefits of Vehicle Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Before the inspection, some preparatory work is required (such as knowing relevant information, online appointment procedures, issues to pay attention to, etc.) to ensure a smooth and successful inspection.
I've learned from experience that vehicle inspection stations usually close during the National Day holiday. After years of driving, I've found that inspection services are basically suspended during national statutory holidays. Last year, I made a wasted trip and lost half a day. It's best to complete your annual inspection one or two weeks before the holiday to avoid fines and hassle. While roads are less crowded during holidays, most service stations are closed, so don't count on getting your car inspected. I recommend calling ahead or checking online for specific station operating announcements. Safety comes first when driving - make sure basic functions like lights are working properly before your trip, and don't wait until the holiday to think about overdue inspections. Late inspections may result in a 200 yuan fine and could affect insurance claims, so early preparation is always wise.
