Stickers on a car include the compulsory traffic 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 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.

As a long-distance driver who's always on the road, my car carries quite a few mandatory decals. The sticker and annual inspection label are permanently affixed to the top-left corner of the windshield as required by law. The trunk also holds a reflective warning triangle for breakdown emergencies. Considering frequent rest stops at service areas, I keep a parking card with contact details on the dashboard. A novice driver sticker on the rear prompts following vehicles to be patient. Recently, I've noticed many cars displaying yellow-green EV identification stickers for easy recognition at charging stations. Remember: never obstruct visibility with decals or display violent/sensitive content, or you'll fail the annual inspection.

My pink Beetle is covered in adorable car decals! The mandatory annual inspection and stickers are fixed on the top left corner of the windshield with bear-patterned static cling stickers. There's a giant Hello Kitty on the rear, and rainbow unicorns on the side windows. But a reminder to my sisters: these decorations must never obstruct driving visibility. When working at the 4S shop, I saw some cars sporting cool metal car club badges. For the moving car contact number, I recommend using a flip-style holder to protect privacy. Recently, I've noticed many cars with round green plates – turns out they're exclusive identifiers for new energy vehicles. Car decals are like phone cases, great for expressing personality but shouldn't compromise safety.

Last year, my vehicle inspection was rejected three times before I finally understood the regulations on car stickers. The annual inspection label and label must be affixed to the upper left or right corner of the windshield. I've seen someone fined 200 yuan for placing it in the middle. A reflective warning triangle must be carried in the vehicle at all times and can be stored when not in use. Trucks are required to have reflective strips and enlarged license plates. Note that all stickers must not obstruct the license plate or the driver's view. Nowadays, many places have adopted electronic versions of the annual inspection labels, but this hasn't been fully implemented everywhere. While personalized stickers like 'Baby in car' are heartwarming, they shouldn't be too large, or you might be asked to remove them.

Since having a second child, the number of stickers on the car has increased. The windshield always has the annual inspection and stickers fixed on it, and a glow-in-the-dark 'Child on Board' sticker is specially placed next to the safety seat. The trunk is always equipped with a reflective warning triangle, and SUVs used for camping often have a roof rack height sticker on the rear. I found that placing a 'Please Call to Move' number plate on the parking spot in the neighborhood is particularly useful. Once, when the baby was crying, my wife put a 'Baby on Board – Please Don’t Honk' sticker on the window, and it instantly became much quieter. A reminder for new parents: it’s best to use static cling stickers for car decals, as they can be removed without leaving marks. Avoid overly flashy cartoon stickers that might obstruct the rear view.
