What happens if a car without annual inspection is caught by traffic police?

A car without annual inspection caught by traffic police will result in fines, penalty points, and even vehicle impoundment. Annual inspections cannot be delayed - even a one-day delay will incur fines and a 3-point penalty. If a car without annual inspection is involved in a traffic accident, the insurance company will not provide compensation. Vehicle annual inspection refers to the yearly examination of vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, conducted according to the technical requirements for motor vehicle operation safety. The purpose of annual inspection is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, urge strengthened maintenance, keep the vehicle in good condition, and ensure driving safety. Motor vehicle annual inspections are divided into initial inspections and regular inspections. The initial inspection is conducted when applying for license plates to verify whether the vehicle meets the requirements for obtaining license plates.
That time I was driving my car on the road, unaware that the annual inspection had expired for several days, when I was suddenly stopped by a traffic police officer for a check. He looked at my documents and immediately issued a ticket, fining me 200 yuan and deducting 3 points, and said the car had to be impounded and sent to the inspection station right away. I had no choice but to take a taxi to the inspection site, wait in line for half a day, spend time getting the car inspected and paying fees before I could retrieve my keys, wasting a whole day's work and incurring extra costs. Since then, I've become smarter, setting a phone reminder for the annual inspection date, never being lazy again, ensuring both safety and saving money.
