New vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years, only requiring the collection of an annual inspection decal every two years. After six years, an annual inspection is required once every year. For vehicles over 15 years old, inspections are required every six months. Below is relevant information regarding new vehicle inspections: 1. Legal Basis: Article 13 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that motor vehicles registered for road use must undergo regular safety technical inspections based on factors such as vehicle purpose, passenger and cargo capacity, and service life, in accordance with laws and administrative regulations. 2. Notes: The exemption only applies to on-site inspections. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the stipulated period are not subject to repeated inspections.

I just started driving not long ago, and I remember when buying a new car, the salesman said the first six years would be particularly hassle-free. You don’t need to go to the inspection station every year; just apply for an exemption decal on the mobile app every two years. The first time was a bit chaotic, but I quickly got the hang of it. The advantage is saving time and money. New cars have advanced systems that can self-monitor, so there’s no need to frequently check things like the exhaust pipe. I recommend everyone to do it on time to avoid last-minute fines or issues with insurance claims. The current new car policies are really user-friendly, making it easy for beginners like me to handle. Just keep an eye on the traffic management news platform regularly.

What to Do If You Can't Accurately Judge the Turning Point for Right-Angle Turns?

When approaching a left right-angle turn, first straighten the vehicle and drive close to the right side of the road, aligning the right one-third of the engine hood with the right edge of the road. Similarly, when entering a left right-angle turn, straighten the vehicle and drive close to the right side, aligning the position of the left wiper's rivet with the right edge of the road. When driving close to the right side, ensure the door handle in the mirror just touches the right edge of the road, with the right side of the vehicle maintaining a distance of about 30 cm from the edge.

What to Do When There's a Vehicle Ahead During Straight-Line Driving?

When a trainee notices a vehicle ahead still performing the straight-line driving exercise and has not yet exited the straight-line section, to ensure their own test can be passed smoothly, they can downshift and reduce speed in advance. If the voice command has not been issued yet, stopping correctly will not result in point deductions. After stopping, it's essential to return to neutral gear and engage the handbrake—these are basic operations. Wait until the vehicle ahead has moved a certain distance away, then start in first gear, following the same procedure as at the beginning of the test. It's best to reach the required gear before entering the test area. If the voice command has already been announced, reduce speed and downshift: After the voice command is announced, if the trainee is currently performing the straight-line driving exercise and stopping during the test is not allowed, but there's still some distance to the vehicle ahead, the trainee can resolve the situation by reducing speed and downshifting. As long as they remain calm and operate correctly, there should be no major issues. For unexpected situations, adapt flexibly: There's also a less common scenario where, while the trainee is performing the exercise, a vehicle suddenly cuts in or is extremely close ahead. In such cases, it's crucial to follow safe driving principles, brake promptly to avoid a collision, and prioritize safety above all else.
