Is Annual Inspection Still Required for a Long-Term Valid Driver's License?
1 Answers
Even if a driver's license is long-term valid, it still requires an annual inspection, unless the vehicle has no demerit points recorded within a scoring cycle, in which case the inspection for that cycle can be waived. Additionally, holders of a C1 long-term driver's license who have not accumulated more than 12 demerit points within a scoring cycle are also exempt from the inspection for that cycle. Relevant details are as follows: 1. License Renewal: If a driver has not reached 12 demerit points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period of their driver's license, they can renew it for a 10-year validity period. Similarly, if they maintain this record during the 10-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driver's license. When renewing the driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security authority must conduct an inspection. 2. Inspection: Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks must undergo an inspection at the traffic management department of the public security authority within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no demerit points recorded within a scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is waived.
