According to relevant regulations, drivers who operate a motor vehicle on the road without undergoing the required annual inspection within the specified period will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 demerit points. If an accident occurs after the annual inspection has expired, the insurance company may refuse to compensate. It is illegal to drive a vehicle even one day after the annual inspection has expired, but the inspection can be processed up to 3 months in advance. Annual Inspection Deadline: Motor vehicles should undergo safety technical inspections according to the following schedule from the date of registration: passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. Consequences of Overdue Annual Inspection: Vehicles that do not undergo annual inspections on time not only lack guaranteed driving safety but also, according to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' drivers of overdue vehicles will be fined and receive 3 demerit points. If caught driving on the road, the vehicle may even be impounded.
