How Many Points Are Required for Annual Vehicle Inspection?
2 Answers
Annual vehicle inspection requires 12 points on the driver's license. Types of Driver's Licenses and Permitted Vehicle Categories: C1 license permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. C2 license permits driving small automatic transmission vehicles, including small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles and light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. C3 license permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles (formerly four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). C4 license permits driving three-wheeled vehicles (formerly three-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). B2 license permits driving large trucks, heavy and medium cargo vehicles, and large, heavy, and medium special-purpose vehicles. Validity Period of Driver's License: The driver's license is valid for six years. After the six-year validity period expires, it will be replaced with a ten-year validity license. Eligible drivers may receive a long-term valid license. The driver must apply for a license renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or another office 90 days before the expiration date.
I've been driving for over a decade, and the driver's license annual review has nothing to do with points. Points are for traffic violations like running red lights or speeding—when the traffic police give you demerit points, and if you accumulate 12 points, you'll need to retake the theory test (Subject 1). The annual review mainly checks the driver's health condition, such as vision and hearing, to ensure you're still fit to drive safely. Younger drivers might only undergo review when renewing their license every 6 or 10 years, but older drivers like me over 50 need to get a medical checkup at the hospital every year. The key point is, the annual review only checks whether you have a qualified medical report—your points don't affect the approval. Of course, if you've accumulated too many points, you should be extra careful to follow the rules to avoid hitting the 12-point limit, which could lead to license suspension. Safety comes first when driving, and don't delay your annual review.
