Can vehicle inspection be done during National Day holiday?
2 Answers
According to the national statutory holidays, there is a unified holiday. The vehicle management office will not be open, so annual inspection cannot be conducted. Introduction to annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". Relevant policies for annual inspection: There are relevant regulations in documents such as the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law" regarding vehicle annual inspections. Some preparatory work is required before the inspection (such as knowing relevant information, online appointment, procedures, vehicle precautions, etc.) to ensure normal and smooth passage. There are initial and regular annual inspections, as well as some related policies.
I encountered this issue during National Day before and found that most vehicle inspection stations are closed during statutory holidays, including the 7-day National Day holiday. It's best to avoid scheduling your vehicle annual inspection during this time as the inspection station staff are also on holiday. Last year on October 2nd, I made a trip to the inspection station only to find it closed. Later, a friend suggested checking the station's business hours online or booking an appointment in advance. I recommend handling the annual inspection one or two weeks ahead of time rather than waiting until the holiday, as an expired inspection could affect vehicle use and insurance. Nowadays, many places support mobile app bookings, such as local traffic service platforms, where you can easily check the schedule and requirements with just a few clicks, saving both time and fuel costs. In short, getting your vehicle inspected during National Day isn't very practical; it's more reliable to choose a weekday or handle it before the holiday.
