There is no grace period for the annual inspection of private cars. Vehicle Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles according to the 'Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety'. The vehicle annual inspection can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, urge owners to strengthen vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. There is no 30-day grace period for vehicle annual inspection, which must be conducted before the expiration of the inspection validity period. The best time for annual inspection is within 3 months before the inspection date, preferably 1-2 months in advance. Inspection Overdue: If a vehicle's annual inspection is overdue, it is considered an inspection overdue behavior and cannot be driven on the road. Once overdue, the vehicle registration system will mark its status as 'overdue for inspection'. If the vehicle is still driven on the road at this time, it violates regulations. Once caught, the owner will face a fine of 200 yuan, 3 demerit points, and the vehicle will be impounded. Before being caught by traffic police or before any accident occurs, the owner should promptly conduct a supplementary inspection. However, do not take chances. The correct approach is to call a tow truck to tow the vehicle to the vehicle management office for a supplementary inspection.
