Driving an uninspected vehicle on the road will result in a fine, with different penalty amounts depending on the specific circumstances of the missed inspection. Below is relevant information about the motor vehicle inspection procedure: 1. Vehicle inspection requirements: Before inspection, you need to purchase compulsory traffic insurance, clear all traffic violations to restore the vehicle to normal status, and bring your ID card, vehicle license, and compulsory insurance certificate. Queue up at the vehicle management office, take a number, and fill out forms. An inspector will verify the vehicle's license plate, type, manufacturer, model, color, engine number, and VIN code/frame number. 2. Inspection: Verify the vehicle license against the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate. The vehicle undergoes inspection at the testing station. The license management department reviews the vehicle owner's submitted documents, including the vehicle license, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, safety technical inspection certificate, and checks for any traffic violations and accident records. Finally, the inspection compliance mark is issued, and the vehicle license is endorsed.
I used to think forgetting about the annual vehicle inspection was no big deal, until one time I was pulled over by traffic police for driving an uninspected car. I was fined 200 yuan on the spot and had 1 point deducted from my license. The worst part was my car got impounded at the traffic management office, and it took me three days to get it back. The officer explained that driving an uninspected vehicle is illegal, and if you miss three consecutive inspection cycles, the car gets forcibly scrapped. That experience taught me a lesson - now I mark the inspection date in my phone calendar two months in advance and visit the inspection station a week before it's due. After all, uninspected cars pose safety risks with potential brake or lighting issues, and insurance companies might deny claims if accidents occur. A proper inspection takes less than half a day - way better than facing fines and impoundment.
