What happens if a driver's license is not inspected annually?
2 Answers
If a driver fails to have their driver's license inspected for more than one year, the license will be temporarily revoked according to regulations, and the driver will need to retake the subject one exam. However, as long as the exam is passed successfully, the license can be reinstated. Below is a detailed introduction to the driver's license annual inspection: 1. Inspection content: (1) Road traffic violations and accident handling records. (2) Physical condition. (3) Road traffic violation points and records of attending study sessions and exams after accumulating 12 points. 2. Required materials: Submit the original and photocopies of the driver's license and ID card. A medical certificate from a county-level or military regiment-level medical institution regarding the driver's physical condition. The driver needs to submit three one-inch photos. The "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" filled out at the vehicle management office.
As an experienced driver, I must remind you that failing to get your driver's license inspected annually can cause serious trouble. If you forget to complete the annual inspection on time, the police will issue a fine upon inspection, typically starting at 200 RMB, and deduct points from your record. Not being able to drive for a short period can disrupt your commute and work schedule. Worse still, if you fail the medical check and don't address it promptly, the insurance company might refuse to cover any accidents, leading to greater losses. Prolonged negligence could even result in the revocation of your license, requiring you to retake the test, which is both time-consuming and costly. I once saw a neighbor who forgot the annual inspection and had their car impounded—it took them a week to sort it out, causing lost work hours and a lot of stress. I recommend setting a phone reminder to visit the DMV for the inspection every year. Ensuring your own and others' safety is far better than dealing with unnecessary hassles.
