1 Answers
New regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections: 1. Expanded scope of motor vehicle exemption from inspection: On the basis of exempting non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles with 6 seats or less from inspection within 6 years, non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years are now included in the exemption scope. For non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. 2. Relaxed age requirements for small car driving license applications: To better meet the new demands of an aging society, the upper age limit of 70 for applying for small car, small automatic transmission car, and light motorcycle driving licenses has been removed. For individuals aged 70 and above applying for a driving license, additional tests for memory, judgment, and reaction abilities are added to ensure their physical condition meets safe driving requirements. 3. Optimized application conditions for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicle driving licenses: The lower age limit for applying for large bus and tractor driving licenses has been reduced from 26 and 24 to 22, and the upper age limit for applying for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicle driving licenses has been adjusted from 50 to 60. At the same time, the interval for upgrading licenses has been shortened. For those without full-point records in the corresponding scoring cycle, the required time to apply for a large bus driving license after obtaining a large truck driving license has been reduced from at least 5 years to 3 years, and the required time to apply for a tractor and medium-sized bus driving license has been reduced from at least 3 years to 2 years, further meeting the needs of people's production and life and passenger and cargo transport enterprises. 4. Expanded scope of medical institutions for physical examinations: For submitting physical condition certificates required for motor vehicle driving license applications, the scope of medical institutions has been expanded from county-level or military regiment-level medical institutions to secondary-level hospitals, township health centers, community health service centers, and health examination centers with health examination qualifications, adapting to the new situation of China's public health development, improving service coverage in rural and remote areas, and facilitating county and township residents to handle matters nearby. 5. Convenience for disabled families to share vehicles: Individuals holding a small automatic transmission car driving license (C2) or above can drive small automatic transmission passenger cars specially designed for upper limb disabled individuals, facilitating disabled family members and other personnel serving disabled individuals to share vehicles, better safeguarding the rights and interests of disabled individuals. 6. Regulations on car annual inspection time: The car annual inspection time is determined based on the date of new car registration. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle driving license is June 2015, then the car annual inspection time is every June. At the same time, according to the newly revised Article 40 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," motor vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration place within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. That is to say, vehicles due for annual inspection in June can participate in the annual inspection at the testing line in April, May, or June.
