Can vehicle inspections be conducted during the National Day holiday?
2 Answers
Generally, vehicle annual inspections cannot be conducted in most places during the National Day holiday. However, some regions may offer inspection services to alleviate inconvenience for working professionals. For specific arrangements, it is advisable to consult the local vehicle management offices. The purpose of annual inspections: The annual inspection aims to assess the technical condition and operational capability of the vehicle, identify fault locations and causes. Only after passing the inspection can the vehicle continue to operate or undergo necessary repairs. Important notes for annual inspections: Vehicle appearance and tire size must not be altered. The physical condition of the vehicle must match the photo on the driving license. Any changes to the vehicle's appearance may result in failure to pass the inspection.
As someone who's been driving for years, I find vehicle inspections during National Day holidays quite tricky. Last year I only remembered my inspection was due right before the holiday ended. When I rushed to the nearby inspection station, the gate was closed with a notice saying they were on holiday. The security guard told me many DMVs and inspection sites close for at least 2-3 days during statutory holidays. My advice - don't wait until the last minute. You might face long queues or closed stations, which would be really awkward. I've learned to book appointments or check information via apps in advance to avoid wasted trips. Also, get any necessary repairs or part replacements done early - postponing them post-holiday creates more hassle. Safety first! Regular checks on brakes, lights etc. can also prevent such issues.
