1 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection cannot be delayed. The annual vehicle inspection must be completed within the specified time frame. Late inspections will result in fines and penalty points. According to Article 47, Section 4 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," driving a motor vehicle on the road without undergoing the required safety technical inspection will result in 3 penalty points and temporary vehicle seizure. Article 49 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" clearly states: The owner of a motor vehicle may apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle registration office within three months before the expiration of the inspection validity period. Before applying, the owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. The consequences of failing to undergo the annual inspection on time include: Vehicles that have not undergone the annual inspection cannot be driven on the road; driving a vehicle without timely inspection will result in 3 penalty points and a fine; if an accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone inspection, the responsible party will bear full or primary liability, and the insurance company will not compensate; driving without timely inspection constitutes illegal operation and may lead to vehicle seizure; according to the "Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," if a motor vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period, it will be forcibly scrapped.
