Can I have my vehicle inspected if there are unprocessed traffic violations?

No, you cannot have your vehicle inspected if there are unprocessed traffic violations. All violations must be resolved before the annual inspection. Documents required for processing violations: Original and copy of the vehicle registration certificate for the vehicle involved in the traffic violation, original ID card of the driver, and original and copy of the driver's license. Self-service violation processing procedure: Go to the nearest HaoYi self-service terminal, enter the license plate number, type of license plate, and the last four digits of the engine number to query violation information. Enter the driver's license number and insert the driver's bank card, then enter the registered phone number for the driver's license. The system will send an SMS verification code to the registered phone number. After verification, you can pay by swiping your card.
I encountered this situation during my annual vehicle inspection last year. I remember driving to the testing station that day, and the staff told me I had several outstanding traffic violations that needed to be cleared before the inspection could proceed. They explained that the system automatically blocks vehicles with unpaid fines from undergoing the annual inspection. As a result, I had to go to the traffic police station first to settle those violations, which took time and delayed my inspection schedule. From that experience, I learned that driving isn't just about regular maintenance—it's also crucial to stay on top of traffic violation records, such as speeding or illegal parking, and promptly pay fines through apps or offline channels. Addressing violations early has many benefits: it ensures a smooth inspection process, prevents interest accumulation or doubled fines, and most importantly, it's always better to drive safely than to regret later. If you're in a similar situation, I recommend checking your violation records a few days in advance to avoid last-minute delays.
