Do I need to display insurance stickers on my car?

It is required to display insurance stickers on your car, which include the compulsory traffic insurance sticker and the annual inspection sticker. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state, and car owners need to purchase this insurance every year. For vehicles within 6 years, the annual inspection policy allows for exemption from inspection, but the annual inspection sticker must be obtained every two years. You can apply for the annual inspection sticker at the vehicle management office. The environmental protection sticker is no longer required as environmental testing has been merged with the annual inspection. Car owners should regularly purchase compulsory traffic insurance and undergo annual inspections. Before the annual inspection, it is advisable to check if the vehicle has any faults and perform maintenance in advance.
After driving for so many years, I have to say that insurance stickers are no longer required now. I remember in the early days, you had to stick three or four labels on the windshield, and removing the adhesive residue was a hassle. Now the policy has changed, with electronic insurance policies being implemented nationwide, and insurance companies directly transmit the data to the traffic management system. However, I once encountered a check while driving on mountain roads, and an old traffic officer insisted on seeing physical documents. Fortunately, I had the electronic version saved on my phone. I recommend you download the Traffic Management 12123 APP as a backup, especially for long-distance trips. Actually, having nothing stuck on the windshield makes the view much clearer, and the annual inspection sticker is no longer needed either. Just be careful not to cover the vehicle identification number with the front window film, as this is strictly checked.
