The six-year vehicle inspection exemption means that within six years from the date of vehicle registration, there is no need to go to the vehicle management office for an inspection. The following is a detailed introduction to the six-year inspection exemption: 1. Implementation date: On May 16, 2014, the Ministry of Public Security and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine jointly issued a document introducing 18 major reform measures, including a six-year inspection exemption for private cars and cross-regional vehicle inspections. 2. Notes: The exemption refers to exemption from "on-site testing". On-site testing refers to the inspection of nine items of the motor vehicle, including exhaust emissions, side slip, speedometer, axle weight, lights, noise, chassis, and braking.

As a seasoned driver with over two decades of experience, I’ve endured the headache of annual vehicle inspections. The current six-year exemption for new cars is truly a blessing—meaning privately owned passenger cars are exempt from mandatory safety inspections (like emissions and brake tests at inspection stations) for the first six years after registration. However, you still need to apply for an inspection decal every two years, either via the "Traffic Management 12123" App or at the DMV, saving both time and money. This policy only applies to non-commercial vehicles. My advice: maintain your car well, avoid speeding or modifications to prevent trouble. Overall, it’s a convenient and safety-conscious policy—new owners can focus more on driving joy, but don’t forget routine checks on tires, lights, and other details.

I just bought my first car a year ago, and my friend mentioned that new vehicles enjoy a six-year exemption from inspections, which is super convenient. This means that within the first six years after registration, new cars are exempt from the hassle of annual inspections at testing stations. Instead, owners only need to apply for an inspection decal online every two years—simple and quick. The benefits include no need to take time off work to wait in long queues, allowing you to focus on daily driving while saving more money and time for travel. This policy applies to regular family cars, but remember to apply for the decal on time and don’t overlook it. I’ve personally added a tire pressure monitoring system to ensure safe driving. The policy is indeed thoughtful, and new car owners should make good use of it while developing a habit of regular self-checks.

As a father of two, I always drive my kids to and from school. The six-year exemption from vehicle inspection is a great help to our family, meaning that new private cars don't need annual on-site inspections within six years, only requiring the application for inspection stickers every two years. It saves us the hassle of taking the whole family to the inspection station and allows more time with the kids. The policy encourages safe vehicle usage, so I regularly maintain brakes and tire pressure to ensure no hidden dangers. Just don't neglect it.

What is the function of the braking ABS system?

The functions of the braking ABS system are: 1. Automatically controlling and adjusting the wheels; 2. Preventing the vehicle from experiencing braking deviation, spinning, or fishtailing during emergency braking, which could result in loss of directional control. The working principle of the braking ABS system is: 1. Determining the wheel lock-up state based on the speed signals from the wheel speed sensors; 2. Closing the input solenoid valve on the wheel that begins to lock up to maintain the braking force; 3. Opening the output solenoid valve when the wheel is locked up for an extended period, causing the braking pressure on the wheel to rapidly decrease through the pipeline connected to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the braking force from completely locking up the wheel.

Can a car be equipped with a roof rack?

Roof racks can be installed, but it depends on the situation. In my opinion, installing a roof rack can be divided into two scenarios. One is when the vehicle comes with a roof rack from the factory, and additional racks are installed as needed later. The other is when the vehicle does not come with a roof rack from the factory, and it needs to be installed afterward. According to the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" (GA801-2019): Installing a roof rack without changing the vehicle's length, width, or main body structure and ensuring safety does not require registration or modification of the vehicle license. Additionally, the installed rack must not affect the vehicle's length and width, and the height of the rack must not exceed 300mm. Article 54 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that the load carried by a motor vehicle must not exceed the approved load capacity specified on the vehicle license, and the length and width of the load must not exceed the dimensions of the vehicle body. The following regulations must also be observed: Passenger vehicles are not allowed to carry cargo except for the external roof rack and built-in luggage compartment. When carrying cargo on the roof rack of a passenger vehicle, the height from the roof must not exceed 0.5 meters, and the height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters.
