The penalty for a vehicle that has not undergone annual inspection for one year is: a deduction of 3 points and a fine of 200. Below are the relevant introductions about the annual inspection times for different types of vehicles: 1. Passenger vehicles: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 5 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. 2. Cargo vehicles: Cargo vehicles and large and medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. 3. Non-operational vehicles: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years, once a year after exceeding 6 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years.
My car was overdue for its annual inspection for a year, and when I drove it on the road, I was stopped by the traffic police. I was fined 500 yuan and had 3 points deducted from my driver's license. The car was impounded on the spot, and I had to go to the inspection station to complete the annual inspection before I could retrieve it. The whole process was really annoying—waiting in line for ages, and the late fees plus penalties added up to several hundred yuan. What's even more troublesome is that the insurance might not cover any claims if an accident happens, leaving me fully responsible. Now, I set an alarm on my phone every year as a reminder not to wait until the last minute. The annual vehicle inspection is a safety check, covering things like brakes and lights. If it's overdue for too long, the risks increase, making accidents more likely. Better deal with it promptly and not procrastinate.
