How many labels should be affixed to a new car?
2 Answers
Two labels should be affixed to a new car, which are: 1. Motor Vehicle Inspection Qualification Label: valid for one year; 2. Compulsory Insurance Label. These labels are uniformly stipulated by the state, standardizing the driving guidelines and also examining the legal passability of the vehicle. The environmental protection label has been abolished, but the exhaust emission test report must still be submitted to the traffic management department. Therefore, the exhaust emission test must be conducted and passed before the traffic management department issues the Safety Technical Inspection Certificate to the vehicle owner. The full name of the compulsory insurance is the Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles. It is a mandatory liability insurance provided by the insurance company to compensate for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle within the liability limit.
I just bought a new car a couple of days ago and I'm super excited, but the whole sticker thing has me a bit confused. After purchasing the new car, the dealer said I must place a few official labels on the top right corner of the windshield, mainly the compulsory insurance sticker and the environmental compliance certificate. These two are mandatory requirements—failure to display them could result in fines and penalty points from traffic police. The insurance sticker proves you have coverage for timely accident handling, while the environmental sticker shows your vehicle meets emission standards, which is crucial for protecting the environment. New cars might not need the annual inspection sticker in the first year, but it must be updated and displayed properly every year after. I used static cling film to avoid damaging the glass when applying them, making sure they're clearly visible without obstructing the view. Some people like adding decorative decals for personalization, but I'd advise against overdoing it to prevent distracting from driving. Regularly check the expiry dates and replace them on time—insurance stickers annually, environmental ones every few years—don't wait until you're fined for expired tags. Feels like a must-know for new car owners, sharing this to help you avoid pitfalls.
