What are the stickers on a car?
2 Answers
Stickers on a car include the compulsory traffic insurance sticker, vehicle annual inspection sticker, and environmental protection inspection sticker. These stickers are valid for one year and need to be replaced annually. According to Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, when driving a motor vehicle on the road, the vehicle license plate must be displayed, the inspection sticker and insurance sticker must be placed, and the vehicle registration certificate must be carried. According to Article 13, Paragraph 2 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the inspection sticker and insurance sticker should be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield.
When I first bought a car, I wasn’t sure which stickers to put on. Later, I learned that some are mandatory. On the top left corner of the windshield, you must display the compulsory insurance sticker and the annual inspection sticker—traffic police are strict about these, and you’ll be fined if they’re missing. The rear windshield can also have a novice driver sticker, which is essential for beginners. Many people also put a parking contact number sticker on the door for temporary parking convenience. Additionally, some car owners like to personalize their cars with decals on the rear, like gecko emblems or cartoon designs—these are purely personal preferences. A reminder: never use fake compulsory insurance stickers, and remember to renew the annual inspection sticker when it expires. As for signs like 'New Driver' or similar, it’s up to personal preference whether to display them.
