How to conduct biennial inspection for motorcycles?
2 Answers
Motorcycles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 4 years, and annually thereafter. Below are relevant details: 1. Required documents: Vehicle license, duplicate copy of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy, inspector's ID card, triangular warning sign, and fire extinguisher. (Vehicle violations must be resolved, and no modifications are allowed on the body). 2. Document explanation: The compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy consists of original and duplicate pages. The duplicate copy must be submitted during inspection and will be retained by the inspection agency. The ID card required is that of the person driving the vehicle for inspection.
I've been riding a motorcycle for almost two years now, and last year was my first annual inspection. I thought it would be a big deal, but actually, for new vehicles, the first six years only require a biennial inspection, and no on-site testing is needed. Just bring your ID card, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the local DMV or a nearby inspection station. The information verification on-site usually takes about ten minutes. By the way, I’d recommend downloading the Traffic Management 12123 app in advance to make an appointment and avoid queues. After the inspection, you’ll get a free compliance label, and the cost is just a few dozen yuan. Don’t forget regular maintenance like checking brake pads, lights, and tire pressure—neglecting these can lead to accidents. The whole process is really simple, so don’t procrastinate; delaying it might result in a fine of a few hundred yuan. Riders should always prepare extra time in case any documents are missing, as fixing that later can be troublesome.
