What is the Road and Bridge Card Required for Vehicle Inspection?
2 Answers
Road and Bridge Card is a pass card used when driving through roads and bridges. It is issued when the vehicle enters the road network and serves as the basis for calculating toll fees. The Road and Bridge Pass Card is used to record relevant information about the road traveled. It is generally collected when entering the road, recording details such as license plate number, vehicle type, vehicle category, entry station, and entry time. Upon exit, the pass card is presented, and the toll fee is calculated based on the recorded entry station. Below are the documents required for vehicle inspection: Personal Vehicles: Original vehicle license and Road and Bridge Card; Copy of compulsory traffic insurance; Road and Bridge Ticket; "First Copy (Black)"; Copy of owner's ID card; Vehicle. Company Vehicles: Original vehicle license and Road and Bridge Card; Copy of compulsory traffic insurance; Road and Bridge Ticket; "First Copy (Black)"; Organization Code Certificate (with fresh seal); Power of Attorney (with fresh seal); Vehicle.
To be honest, the Road & Bridge Toll Card is that small card we must bring for vehicle inspections, mainly serving as proof that the vehicle has paid its annual bridge and road usage fees on time. As a car enthusiast who frequently drives long distances, I know the hassle of not having this card - inspectors will verify its payment records during inspections to confirm compliance. Policies vary by region, with fees ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan annually, payable at traffic offices or online for physical or electronic cards. My advice is to handle this at least one week before inspection to avoid queues. Forgetting it may lead to failed inspections plus late fees. I recommend regularly checking payment status via apps and keeping it properly stored for smoother annual checks.
