Do cars still need to display annual inspection stickers?
1 Answers
Motor vehicle annual inspection labels have now been digitized and do not need to be displayed on the vehicle. After the launch of electronic insurance policies, insurance companies will issue policyholders with "electronic documents in the form of data messages that prove the existence of a motor vehicle insurance contract relationship," known as electronic insurance policies. These serve as electronic substitutes for paper insurance policies and endorsements, and hold the same legal validity as paper policies. Below are some considerations for annual inspections: 1. Emissions Testing: During the annual inspection, the vehicle's emissions will be tested for compliance, focusing on the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter. The optimal operating temperature for these components is between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius, so it is recommended that owners warm up their vehicles in the inspection area before the emissions test to increase the pass rate. 2. Vehicle Cleaning: Before the annual inspection, owners should clean their vehicles in advance. Cleaning the body, engine compartment, and undercarriage beforehand can make the inspection process easier for the inspectors and help pass the inspection. 3. Lighting Check: The vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle's lights. If the lights are found to be too dim or too bright, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the inspection. It is advisable to restore the original headlights' condition before the inspection to ensure compliance.
