Is it still necessary to affix the annual inspection and insurance labels?
2 Answers
Annual inspection labels need to be affixed to the vehicle's windshield, while insurance labels can be in electronic format and do not require physical affixing. Below are the specific functions of the electronic vehicle inspection exemption label: 1. Negotiation: In the event of a traffic accident, if both parties agree to handle the matter through private negotiation, they can use the Traffic Management 12123 app to scan the QR code of the other party's electronic inspection exemption label to confirm whether the vehicle is within the valid inspection period. 2. Insurance claims: During insurance claims, the electronic inspection exemption label can be presented to the insurance company staff to facilitate the processing of vehicle insurance claim procedures. 3. Transactions: In scenarios such as vehicle leasing, used car transactions, or vehicle mortgages, the electronic inspection exemption label can be used to prove the vehicle's inspection status.
I bought a new car last year, and the 4S store specifically reminded me that the annual inspection sticker is no longer required on the windshield. Now, electronic inspection qualification marks are implemented nationwide, and they can be directly stored in the Traffic Management 12123 app. Last time I was stopped by the traffic police for a random check, I opened my phone to show the electronic mark, and it was done in two seconds. Paper insurance policies also don’t need to be displayed, but a copy of the insurance policy should be kept in the glove compartment for inspection. However, it’s advisable to keep a static cling sticker handy—when traveling to some remote areas for self-driving tours, you can temporarily stick a paper version in case of poor network connectivity. The best part is that the windshield is finally clean; those stubborn adhesive marks from before were really hard to remove.
