Is a small car driver's license exempt from inspection for six years?
2 Answers
Small car driver's licenses are exempt from inspection for six years. However, the exemption refers to being exempt from "on-site inspection." Below is an introduction to the exemption: 1. On-site inspection content: On-site inspection requires testing nine items of the vehicle, including exhaust emissions, side slip, speedometer, axle weight, lights, noise, chassis, and braking. This inspection can be conducted once every six years, but private vehicles still need to undergo regular inspections every two years. Currently, most regions nationwide have implemented electronic labels for vehicle annual inspections, eliminating the need to obtain a paper inspection compliance label. 2. Exemption type: For household small cars within the six-year new car exemption scope, as long as compulsory traffic insurance is purchased and vehicle and vessel tax is paid (neither requires paper receipts, as electronic receipts are now linked online, and new energy vehicles are exempt from vehicle and vessel tax), they can be exempt from the on-site annual inspection at the vehicle inspection station. For household small cars older than six years, after paying compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax, only driving to the vehicle inspection station for an on-site inspection is required. There is no need to obtain an annual inspection label, nor is there a need to stamp the inspection validity period on the driver's license.
I remember a few years ago when my driver's license expired, I thought I didn't need to do anything about it, but in reality, it needs to be renewed every six years. Six years after obtaining the license for the first time, you have to go to the vehicle management office to renew it. Bring your ID card, photos, and a physical condition certificate. You don't need to bring your car for inspection; just a simple physical exam to check your eyesight and limb functions. Don't confuse the annual vehicle inspection with the driver's license renewal. Only vehicle inspections have an exemption policy—under the new regulations for small vehicles, you only need an on-site inspection in the sixth year within the first ten years, with other years exempt. Renewing the driver's license ensures your driving ability is normal, which I think is quite reasonable. Each renewal reminds me to drive safely and reduce accidents.
