What are the penalties for large vehicles failing annual inspection?
3 Answers
If a vehicle fails the annual inspection for less than three months, you can simply make up for it and will receive a verbal warning without a fine. If a vehicle fails the annual inspection for more than three months but less than two years, a fine is required, and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license. If a vehicle has not undergone annual inspection for more than two years, the vehicle's registration will be canceled, and restoring the registration is relatively complicated. Generally, a fine must be paid before restoration is granted. The vehicle owner or unit must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Form" and submit it to the designated location for inspection by the date specified by the local vehicle management office. After the vehicle passes the inspection, the vehicle management authority will update the information on the vehicle's license and the "Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Form."
When I was driving a large vehicle before, I accidentally forgot about the annual inspection and delayed it for over a week. As a result, I was caught by traffic police, fined 500 yuan, had 3 points deducted from my license, and my vehicle was temporarily impounded for a day. All the jobs I had booked for that day were ruined, resulting in significant losses. This incident really scared me. Being busy with work often leads to negligence, but skipping the inspection isn't just about fines—driving with faulty lights or brakes poses serious risks. If an accident happens, insurance won't cover it, making things even worse. So now, I set a reminder on my phone three weeks in advance to get the inspection done. It's hassle-free, convenient, and safety comes first. Fellow drivers, remember not to take it lightly—handle your annual inspection promptly when it's due. Fines are minor, but safety is major.
When helping out at the repair shop, I often see large vehicles getting fined for overdue inspections. The fines are usually around 200 to 800 yuan with 2 points deducted, and the vehicle may be impounded for a few days, affecting operations. The key issue is that uninspected vehicles have many hidden dangers, such as worn brake pads or faulty lights, which increase the chances of being caught. I recommend owners check tires and lights every six months, set calendar reminders, or ask acquaintances to help schedule maintenance. Last time, a client was two months overdue and fined 400 yuan with points deducted. A subsequent inspection revealed safety defects that cost more to fix. Prevention is simple—handling it on time saves trouble and reduces risks.
