A car will be fined if its inspection expires for three months. Below are the precautions for annual inspection: 1. Content: (1) Check the engine, chassis, and auxiliary equipment: Ensure the auxiliary equipment is clean, complete, and functional, the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; (2) Test the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, as well as lights, exhaust, and other safety features to ensure they meet the technical requirements for safe vehicle operation. 2. Annual inspection procedures: (1) The vehicle owner or unit must fill out the annual vehicle inspection form: and send the vehicle to the designated location for inspection on the date specified by the local vehicle management office. After passing the inspection, the vehicle management authority will stamp the vehicle license and the "Annual Vehicle Inspection Form"; (2) For vehicles that cannot undergo inspection due to being away for an extended period, the owner must submit an application: The local vehicle management office will authorize the inspection to be conducted by the vehicle management office at the current location, and the results will be reported back to the original vehicle management office.
I was really annoyed by my car's overdue inspection issue last time. Just three or four days past the deadline, I was stopped by traffic police and fined 200 yuan, plus 3 points deducted from my driver's license. To be honest, there's no fixed grace period for fines - if you're caught without an annual inspection, you'll be penalized immediately. Some people claim there's a 10+ day tolerance period, but don't take it seriously. My neighbor got fined even more for delaying too long, and it even affected their insurance claim when an accident occurred (the insurer refused to pay). My advice: don't take the risk. Go to the inspection station early to complete the procedures with all required documents ready. Driving safety comes first - small inspection delays can lead to big troubles.
