Is the vehicle inspection conducted on a monthly basis?
1 Answers
Vehicle inspection is conducted on a monthly basis. The supplementary page of the vehicle's registration certificate contains an "Inspection Record," where the dates are recorded by month. For example, if the inspection validity period is until September 2018, it means the vehicle can be inspected anytime before the last day of September 2018. If the inspection is not completed by October, it is considered overdue. 1. Consequences of overdue inspection: Currently, traffic police and vehicle management offices are interconnected. Once the inspection is overdue, the vehicle management office notifies the traffic police department, which will intercept the vehicle at various intersections. The penalty is a fine of 200 yuan and 3 demerit points. Moreover, the vehicle must be inspected at the vehicle management office immediately; otherwise, the traffic police will stop the vehicle every time they see it. Even if the vehicle was stopped by the traffic police in the morning, it will still be stopped again in the afternoon if it is on the road, though no further penalties will be imposed. 2. Inspection timing: The vehicle inspection can be conducted up to three months in advance. According to Article 49 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles": (1) The owner of the motor vehicle may apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location up to three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. (2) Before applying, the owner of the motor vehicle must resolve all road traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. When applying, the owner must fill out an application form and submit the vehicle registration certificate, compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate, and motor vehicle safety technical inspection compliance certificate.
