What labels should be affixed to the upper right corner of a car?

Generally, two inspection labels need to be displayed on a vehicle: the vehicle inspection label and the insurance label. Here are the relevant introductions about vehicle inspection and insurance: Vehicle Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection (or motor vehicle annual inspection) refers to the annual inspection conducted on vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." The purpose is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, ensure the vehicle is always in good condition, and guarantee driving safety. Insurance: Auto insurance is a type of commercial insurance that covers liability for personal injury, death, or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles.
In my daily driving routine, the stickers on the upper right corner of the car mainly include the compulsory insurance sticker and the annual inspection sticker, which are mandatory by regulations. In China, new cars must have these stickers affixed right after purchase to avoid being stopped and fined by traffic police—I've had a few minor encounters myself. Besides the insurance and inspection stickers, some regions also require an emissions sticker, though this varies by location. When applying them, be careful not to obstruct your view, as it could compromise driving safety—safety always comes first. Now, after every inspection, I remind myself to update them promptly; delaying it leads to worn-out stickers that look unsightly. Some veteran drivers like to add personalized decals, but I prefer not to overdo it to avoid any misunderstandings about violating rules. In short, these little things in the upper right corner are essential for keeping your car road-legal.
