2 Answers
Documents required to be carried when a vehicle is on the road are as follows: 1. Carry the vehicle license and driver's license, as well as relevant professional qualification certificates and operation permits. Details are as follows: (1) When driving a motor vehicle, the driver's license and vehicle license must be carried with the vehicle. (2) For freight transportation, a freight professional qualification certificate and operation permit must be carried. (3) For passenger transportation, a passenger professional qualification certificate and operation permit must be carried. (4) For hazardous material transportation, a hazardous material transportation professional qualification certificate and operation permit must be carried. Additionally, the accompanying escort personnel must carry a hazardous material escort professional qualification certificate. 2. The vehicle should have the annual inspection sticker, compulsory traffic insurance sticker, and environmental protection sticker (indicating passed exhaust emission test). Ensure the annual inspection sticker and environmental protection sticker are affixed after passing the motor vehicle annual inspection. Check if the compulsory traffic insurance has expired and purchase it in time, then affix the compulsory traffic insurance sticker.
When driving on the road, there are several essential documents I must never forget. First, the driver's license and vehicle registration certificate - one proves I'm qualified to drive, the other proves the vehicle is road-legal. I keep the registration certificate in the car's glove compartment and carry my driver's license with me. Then there's the insurance certificate - although it no longer needs to be displayed on the windshield nowadays, the electronic policy must be readily accessible via mobile app. The same goes for the annual inspection sticker, which has gone digital but mustn't be expired. Special attention should be paid to temporary license plates - those have short validity periods and must be properly displayed on both front and rear windshields. Last time my friend forgot to renew temporary plates on his new car and got penalized 12 points for driving an unlicensed vehicle, plus having to retake the written test. Driving without proper documentation carries serious risks - getting stopped could mean vehicle impoundment and hefty fines.
