What is the penalty for a car's annual inspection being overdue by 1 year?
1 Answers
If a car's annual inspection is overdue by 1 year, the penalty is a fine of 200 yuan and 3 demerit points. According to regulations, the annual inspection should be applied for 90 days in advance, approximately within 3 months before the due date. Additionally, all traffic violations related to the vehicle must be resolved before the inspection. Any delay beyond the valid inspection period is considered overdue, resulting in a penalty of 3 demerit points and a 200 yuan fine. Relevant notes about vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection: 1. For any traffic accidents caused by a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection on time, the driver will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not be liable. Since the insurance policy specifies that vehicles with expired inspections are excluded from coverage, if an accident occurs with such a vehicle, all responsibility falls on the driver, and the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation. 2. According to traffic laws, vehicles without a valid inspection are not permitted on the road. If such a vehicle is found on the road, the driver will be penalized with 3 demerit points and a 200 yuan fine. 3. Driving a vehicle that has not passed the annual inspection may lead to the vehicle being impounded and fined if caught during a traffic check. If you realize that your vehicle's inspection is overdue, the first step is to stop driving it and proceed with the inspection process as soon as possible.
