Is it still necessary to display the annual inspection and insurance decals?
1 Answers
For compulsory traffic insurance decals, they can be omitted in regions where electronic insurance policies have been implemented. As for annual inspection decals, they were fully digitized nationwide in 2020 and replaced by electronic inspection certificates, making physical display unnecessary. Electronic insurance policies serve as digital substitutes for paper insurance documents and carry equal legal validity. Below are precautions for vehicle annual inspections: 1. Pre-warm the vehicle: The inspection includes exhaust emission testing, which examines the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter. These components operate optimally at 400-800°C, so starting the engine in advance during the external inspection area can improve passing rates. 2. Clean the vehicle beforehand: Prior to inspection, thoroughly washing the car body, engine compartment, and chassis facilitates the inspection process and enhances the likelihood of passing.
