How many labels need to be affixed on a car's windshield?

The front windshield must display three major labels: the motor vehicle inspection compliance label, the compulsory insurance label, and the environmental protection inspection compliance label. Temporary license plates for motor vehicles: Two temporary license plates should be affixed simultaneously. One should be placed in the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and should not be covered by the compulsory insurance label or other markings. The other should be affixed in the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. For other types of vehicles where installation conditions are limited, only one temporary license plate is required, which should be placed in the lower left or lower right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view for safe driving. Compulsory insurance for motor vehicles: Article 13 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law' states that the motor vehicle inspection compliance label and insurance label must be affixed in the upper right corner of the front windshield. If a vehicle fails to display these labels as required, traffic police may impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Failure to display the compulsory insurance label as required will result not only in a fine but also in penalty points. Green environmental protection label: According to the draft regulations, if a motor vehicle passes the environmental protection inspection and meets emission standards, the environmental protection department should issue a green environmental protection inspection label as per relevant regulations. If the vehicle does not meet emission standards but is not subject to mandatory retirement, a yellow environmental protection inspection label will be issued. Vehicles that fail to meet emission standards and are subject to mandatory retirement will not be issued any environmental protection inspection label.

As an ordinary car owner, I always pay attention to the window decals when driving. Three labels need to be affixed to the upper right or lower right corner of the windshield: the compulsory traffic insurance label proves the purchase of mandatory liability insurance, which is the basic protection in case of an accident; the vehicle inspection compliance label indicates that the car has passed the annual safety inspection; and the environmental protection label checks whether the emissions meet the standards. If these labels are not fully displayed, traffic police may impose a fine of 200 yuan or deduct points. With technological advancements, some major cities are piloting electronic labels, allowing car owners to use mobile apps like Traffic Management 12123 to save and scan codes instead of physical stickers, eliminating the hassle of frequent label replacements. However, the electronic system is still in its early stages of promotion, and signals in remote areas may be unstable, so I still prefer to stick with physical labels for reliability. It's a good habit to check if the labels are complete and clear before driving to avoid penalties or travel disruptions due to omissions.

As a car enthusiast, I often share tips on sticker placement. Small car windows require three labels: the compulsory traffic insurance label for basic risk coverage, the annual inspection label to confirm roadworthiness, and the environmental protection label monitoring emission standards. These must be firmly affixed in the lower right corner of the windshield interior to avoid obstructing vision or affecting inspection procedures. Regional regulations vary - Beijing enforces stricter controls while rural areas may have simplified requirements. Technically, labels must lie flat without wrinkles; when removing old stickers, use professional adhesive removers to prevent glass damage. Historically, we used to display vessel/vehicle tax labels separately, but merged systems have simplified this. With digital trends, scanning QR codes via apps can reduce physical stickers, though hard copies remain more reliable in low-signal areas. Enthusiasts regularly discuss these details to enhance safety awareness.

As a new driver just hitting the road, I took time to understand the sticker requirements. Typically, three decals are affixed to a car's windshield: the compulsory insurance sticker obtained from the insurer, proving basic coverage; the annual vehicle inspection sticker issued by the DMV confirming roadworthiness; and the environmental protection sticker for pollution control. Placement is mandated in the lower right corner without obstructing the driver's view. During my first maintenance at the 4S shop, they professionally applied them bubble-free and aligned. Forgetting to display them may incur fines - I advise novices to monitor expiration dates and renew promptly. While digital versions exist in apps, paper stickers remain essential in low-signal areas.

With over 20 years of driving experience, I deeply understand the importance of windshield decals. There are three mandatory labels affixed to the windshield: the compulsory traffic insurance decal as accident coverage, the annual inspection decal proving vehicle compliance, and the environmental protection decal preventing pollution violations. Positioned at the standard bottom-right spot for easy inspection and to avoid fines. As a veteran driver who's witnessed policy changes – from multiple decals like road maintenance fees in the past to today's simplified system – I appreciate the convenience. While digital solutions like QR code trials in cities are innovative and practical, physical decals remain essential in rural areas or locations with poor signal. Always completely remove old residue during decal replacement to prevent obscuring, and maintain regular checks to ensure smooth journeys.
