Is it necessary to display an insurance decal on a car?

[VanCorey]

In some regions, it is not required to display the compulsory traffic insurance decal. Since 2019, certain cities in China have implemented an electronic policy system, meaning vehicle owners in these areas no longer need to display the compulsory insurance decal. Traffic police can verify a vehicle's compulsory insurance information through their law enforcement information system terminals. Here are the relevant details: 1. Regions where the policy is implemented: As of now, the policy has only been adopted in Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Yichang City, Shanxi, Guangdong, Henan, Hubei, Shandong, and a few other areas. Vehicle owners in other regions are still required to display the compulsory insurance decal as per regulations. 2. Penalties for not displaying the insurance decal: (1) According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display the inspection qualification mark or insurance mark, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the required procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. (2) Article 13 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law states: The motor vehicle inspection qualification mark and insurance mark shall be affixed to the upper right corner of the front window of the motor vehicle. Violation of these regulations will result in a fine of 200 yuan. (3) Attachment 2 (Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations) of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses, Article 5: Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying the inspection qualification mark or insurance mark, or without carrying the vehicle license or driving license, will result in a deduction of 1 point.
