Is the Motorcycle Annual Inspection Open on Saturdays?
2 Answers
The place for motorcycle annual inspection is the Vehicle Management Office, which is closed on weekends. Documents required for annual inspection: Original vehicle license, original and copy of the vehicle owner's ID card, unit certificate for company vehicles, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy. Inspection items: Check the appearance to ensure safety devices are complete and match the registration photo on the vehicle license; pay fees, input annual inspection information, and conduct on-site testing. Vehicles that fail must undergo self-inspection before resubmitting to the inspection station. Conditions for annual inspection: All traffic violations must be resolved before the vehicle is eligible for inspection. Even one day overdue is not allowed. Vehicles can be inspected up to 60 days in advance, so plan your time wisely and avoid delays.
As a long-time motorcycle enthusiast who has been visiting inspection stations for over a decade, I've found that Saturday operations vary by location. In major cities like Guangzhou and Shanghai, some inspection points may remain open until noon, while most small towns are closed. I recommend downloading the local DMV app to check specific station hours. Annual inspections are crucial as they check brake and lighting issues, ensuring riding safety. I once witnessed a friend whose insurance claim was outright denied after an accident due to skipped inspection. Remember to bring your vehicle license and ID card in advance to avoid unnecessary trips. While Saturday inspections save you from taking leave, expect crowds and queues – arriving early saves time.
