Is Vehicle Inspection Strict During National Day?
2 Answers
During the National Day holiday, traffic police conduct vehicle inspections, and they are stricter than usual. This is because many people gather to eat and drink during the holidays, inevitably encountering some individuals who disregard drunk driving laws. To prevent such incidents, traffic police officers work overtime to patrol the roads. Strict Crackdown on Illegal Vehicles: Operating illegal vehicles is unlawful. These vehicles solicit customers without proper documentation, evade taxes, and severely harm national interests. Such illegal vehicles are commonly found in high-traffic areas like train stations and bus terminals. Strict Crackdown on Motorcycles: Motorcycles have the advantages of being compact and fast. Their benefits become more pronounced during traffic congestion. However, many people mistakenly believe that a C1 or C2 driver's license allows them to operate a motorcycle. In reality, a specific motorcycle license is required to legally ride a motorcycle.
I've been driving for over 20 years, and the National Day holiday traffic checks are always strict. This is because everyone is traveling or returning to their hometowns during this time, resulting in particularly heavy traffic, so traffic management is naturally intensified. Last National Day, I was checked three times on my way from Beijing back to my hometown in Hebei. The police set up checkpoints at highway entrances and toll stations, mainly targeting drunk driving, fatigued driving, and vehicle safety equipment such as lights and brakes. They processed quickly but checked thoroughly. It's advisable to inspect your vehicle a week in advance to avoid the queues at repair shops right before the holiday. Also, make sure to bring your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate. The risk of accidents is high during peak hours—I've personally witnessed dangerous rear-end collisions caused by speeding. The strict checks aren't aimed at individuals but are for everyone's safety. Maintain a steady speed while driving and avoid rushing.
