How many labels should be affixed to a new car?
2 Answers
Three labels need to be affixed to a new car: 1. Compulsory motor vehicle insurance label; 2. Annual motor vehicle inspection label, which should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield; 3. If the driver has obtained their license for less than a year, they also need to affix a probationary sign at the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle inspection qualification label indicates that the vehicle has passed the annual inspection, and having this label means the vehicle meets the conditions for road use. The compulsory insurance label must be displayed, as having this label ensures that driving on the road will not result in penalties from traffic police. The probationary sign is a marker for novice drivers to alert others, with a main color of yellow and an accent color of orange-red, used to remind other drivers and pedestrians, gaining understanding and consideration from other road users and traffic police for new drivers on the road.
When I first bought my new car, the salesperson reminded me to affix the required decals promptly. How many exactly? Generally, two decals are placed in the upper right corner of the front windshield: one is the compulsory traffic insurance decal, proving you have insurance coverage; the other is the inspection compliance decal, indicating the vehicle has passed its annual safety inspection. The process is simple—just peel off the adhesive backing and stick them on, ensuring they're positioned on the right side without obstructing your view. If you fail to display them, police may issue a fine of over 100 yuan, which isn’t worth the risk. After affixing them, I felt much more at ease driving. Don’t be like my friend who forgot once and got checked on the highway—he had to pay the fine on the spot and regretted it deeply. Remember: two decals. Get them sorted as soon as you get your new car to avoid future hassles.
