Is it not necessary to affix the inspection exemption sticker for vehicles?
2 Answers
Vehicles exempt from inspection must have the sticker affixed. If caught without it, penalties will be imposed. Affixation location: The motor vehicle inspection compliance label and insurance label should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Failure to affix the environmental compliance label will result in penalties according to the law. All vehicles driven on the road must have the current year's inspection label prominently displayed in the upper right corner of the front windshield. Non-compliance penalties: Driving a vehicle on the road without properly displaying the annual inspection compliance label will result in a 1-point penalty. Driving without properly displaying the insurance label will also incur a 1-point penalty, and failure to affix the environmental compliance label will result in a fine.
Many friends around me have been asking about this recently. Simply put, paper annual inspection stickers are no longer required for vehicles exempt from inspection, as the traffic authorities have fully promoted electronic inspection marks. When I had my car inspected last year, I noticed that as long as you apply for the electronic mark on the Traffic Management 12123 APP, the system automatically records it, and traffic police can check it with a quick scan of their device. Although no sticker is needed, it's important to remember that exemption from inspection doesn't mean no inspection—you still need to apply for the inspection compliance mark every two years on time, and vehicles exempt from inspection for six years must undergo on-site inspection when the exemption period ends. I remember a friend who forgot to apply for the electronic mark and was fined 200 yuan when stopped, which was totally unfair. So, it's good practice to regularly check the APP to ensure the electronic mark is within its validity period.
