Under What Circumstances is a Driver Required to Undergo Inspection?
2 Answers
Holders of small vehicle driving licenses are required to undergo inspection under the following circumstances: 1. When the driving license is due for renewal upon expiration; 2. When the accumulated demerit points reach 12. Below is relevant information regarding driving license inspection: 1. Introduction: Starting from International Labor Day in 2012, the annual inspection for driving licenses of various large buses, medium buses, large trucks (A1, A2, B1, B2), and school bus staff has been changed from biennial to annual. The initial issuance date is indicated on the front of the driving license, and submitting a physical examination form to the vehicle management office incurs no fees. 2. Overdue Inspection: A driving license will not be canceled if the annual inspection is overdue by one year. Inspection can still be conducted within one year without penalty. According to Article 67, Section 7 of Chapter V of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" issued by the Ministry of Public Security, if a driving license is not renewed within one year after its expiration, the vehicle management office shall revoke the motor vehicle driving license.
Last time I accompanied my friend to the annual inspection station, I finally understood that the requirements really vary for different vehicle types. For our regular family cars, new vehicles only need to apply for the compliance label online every two years for the first six years, but starting from the seventh year, they must undergo an annual inspection on the testing line. If your car has undergone engine modifications or color changes, or has been involved in a major accident, even if it's new, you must promptly report to the vehicle management office for inspection. The most commonly overlooked are trucks and commercial vehicles, which generally require inspections every six months. Once, I saw a van driver whose commercial license had expired for three months, and his vehicle was immediately impounded with a fine of 5,000 yuan. Remember, if the dashboard shows a fault light, the annual inspection will definitely fail, and even brokers can't help with that.
