What are the new regulations for vehicle license annual inspection in 2021?

[LaDakota]

The new regulations for vehicle license annual inspection in 2021 are as follows: 1. Expanded exemption scope for private vehicles and optimized inspection cycles (effective from November 20, 2020): On the basis of exempting non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles with 6 seats or below from inspection within 6 years, non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats within 6 years are now included in the exemption scope. For non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. 2. Electronic inspection labels: Starting from March 1, 2020, 16 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Harbin, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jinan, Zhuzhou, Shenzhen, Haikou, Chengdu, Guiyang, Yuxi, and Urumqi became the first batch of pilot cities for electronic vehicle inspection labels.

Last time I was driving, my friend mentioned that the 2021 new regulations brought significant changes to the annual review of driver's licenses, which really lightened the burden for ordinary drivers like us. In the past, we had to queue up at the vehicle management office every year for a medical checkup and proof, which was quite a hassle; now, under the new policy, C1 and C2 license holders under 60 years old don’t need an annual review during their 6 or 10-year validity period—they only need to submit a medical report when renewing their license. This saves a lot of time, and we don’t have to worry about frequently taking leave to deal with procedures while driving. Additionally, electronic driver's licenses began piloting in 2021, and many cities now allow queries and business handling via mobile apps, making things convenient and fast. When stopped by traffic police, you can simply show the electronic version, which is both hassle-free and eco-friendly. Overall, the new regulations focus more on efficiency and safety, allowing us to concentrate more on driving itself rather than being troubled by cumbersome processes.

As a veteran driver with decades of experience, I must emphasize that the 2021 regulations are particularly strict for elderly drivers. Those aged 70 and above must submit annual medical examination reports to ensure normal blood pressure, vision, and physical condition. This change reminds us to prioritize safety. I always undergo thorough check-ups without negligence during each examination, because safety comes first. Of course, younger drivers have it easier—those under 60 no longer need to go through the hassle of annual inspections. The new policy simplifies procedures and reduces administrative burdens, making driving less strenuous. Meanwhile, I recommend paying more attention to the e-license feature in apps for convenient and quick processing. With these optimized rules, overall travel has become smoother, effectively mitigating risks while enhancing convenience—quite easy to adapt to.

Just got my driver's license and found the 2021 new regulations really help novice drivers a lot. The annual inspection has been simplified, and those under 60 basically don't need to go for physical examinations every year, which reduces much pressure, allowing me to focus more on practicing safe driving. E-driver's licenses are also more widely used now, just bring your phone with the APP when going out, super practical. Overall, the optimized driving life has become more efficient.
