Do traffic violations need to be handled for vehicle inspection?

Traffic violations need to be handled for vehicle inspection. Materials required for handling traffic violations: If it's just a camera violation, only the vehicle license is needed; if it's a speeding violation, prepare the vehicle license, driver's license and their copies; if it's a parking ticket, bring the penalty decision notice and vehicle license. Handling violations requires visiting the vehicle management office: After preparing the materials, go to the vehicle management office to verify the violation, check the photos, and fill out a confirmation form. Paying fines is required for handling violations: Take the confirmation form to any branch of the designated bank specified by the vehicle management office to pay the fine. This can usually be done at an ATM.
I've been driving for twenty years and found that handling traffic violations before the vehicle inspection is a must. Otherwise, during the annual inspection, they will check your violation records, and if there are unpaid fines, they will directly hold you back from passing. I've experienced this myself—last year, I was in a hurry to get my car inspected and forgot to handle a speeding ticket, only to make a wasted trip to the DMV. I had to pay the fine first before I could proceed with the inspection. In fact, delaying the handling of violations not only affects the inspection but can also lead to accumulating late fees. I recommend checking your violation status online a week or two before the annual inspection—you can easily handle it through the Traffic Management 12123 app. The main purpose of the inspection is to check the vehicle's safety condition, but unpaid fines can be seen as driving illegally, indirectly affecting safety considerations. Make it a habit to check your violation records monthly to avoid small issues turning into big problems.
