Is it acceptable to delay the vehicle inspection by one month?
1 Answers
Delaying the annual vehicle inspection by one month constitutes an inspection lapse, and the vehicle is not permitted to be driven on the road. Once the inspection is overdue, the vehicle registration system will mark its status as 'inspection overdue.' If the vehicle is still driven under these circumstances, it violates regulations. If caught, the driver will face a fine, a 3-point penalty, and possible vehicle impoundment. The correct course of action is to promptly arrange for a supplementary inspection. However, do not rely on luck—the proper procedure is to have the vehicle towed to the vehicle management office for the overdue inspection. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Annual inspection participation: Vehicles can undergo the annual inspection up to 3 months before the deadline. 2. Inspection deadline: The inspection deadline can be found on the supplementary page of the vehicle's registration certificate, which states the validity period until a specific month and year. For example, if the registration certificate states 'Inspection valid until July 2018,' the inspection must be conducted within May, June, or July—meaning the earliest inspection date is May 1st, and the latest is July 31st.
