What happens if a vehicle drives on the highway without an annual inspection?

Driving a vehicle on the highway without an annual inspection will result in being intercepted. Vehicle Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." The annual inspection helps to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourages better vehicle maintenance, and reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents. Relevant regulations regarding vehicle annual inspections are stipulated in documents such as the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law." Before the inspection, certain preparations are required (e.g., knowing relevant information, online appointments, procedures, and vehicle-related issues) to ensure a smooth and successful inspection. Annual inspections include initial and regular inspections, along with some related policies. Annual Inspection Process: When handling the vehicle annual inspection, personal documents, vehicle-related certificates, and compulsory traffic insurance materials must be prepared in advance. Once the materials are ready, proceed to the annual inspection agency located in the vehicle's jurisdiction for testing. Upon arrival, go to the service hall window of the vehicle inspection agency to complete the formalities and pay the required inspection fees. After the formalities are completed, follow the staff's instructions to drive the vehicle to the designated location and submit the materials to the inspection personnel, then wait for the inspection. During the inspection, the first step is to check the vehicle's exterior, lights, and tire integrity. After the exterior inspection, the staff will drive the vehicle for an on-road inspection. Once all tests are completed and passed, the vehicle owner can go to the service center to print the duplicate of the registration certificate, marking the end of the annual inspection.
