Front windows must display the annual inspection sticker and sticker. Below is expanded information about these two types of stickers: 1. Annual Inspection Sticker: Vehicle annual inspection (or motor vehicle inspection) refers to the mandatory annual examination conducted according to the 'Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation' for vehicles that have obtained formal license plates and registration certificates. The purpose is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage proper vehicle maintenance, ensure the vehicle remains in good condition, and guarantee driving safety. 2. Insurance Sticker: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is 'Compulsory Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Insurance'. It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, or property losses (excluding passengers and the insured) caused by the insured vehicle in traffic accidents, within specified liability limits. This insurance represents China's first compulsory insurance system mandated by national law, with premiums set at nationally unified rates as regulated by the government.

When I first started driving, I didn’t pay much attention to what stickers were on the car windows, but later I realized that displaying the required decals is quite important. Mainly, you need the annual inspection sticker, which proves your vehicle has passed the yearly inspection, and the compulsory traffic decal, issued by the insurance company as proof of liability coverage. Nowadays, in many places, the environmental protection sticker is no longer required separately, as it’s integrated into the annual inspection. I recommend placing them on the top right or bottom right corner of the windshield, avoiding the center to prevent obstructing your view. If you forget to display them or they’re expired, traffic police may fine you around 200 RMB, and it could also waste your time dealing with the issue. Once, I neglected to replace an outdated sticker in time and got pulled over—luckily, I was just reminded to update it promptly. During routine car washes or fuel stops, take a quick look at their condition to avoid last-minute hassles.

I think these window stickers shouldn't be placed randomly, they must follow regulations. Your vehicle must display the annual inspection sticker, which indicates the car has passed safety inspections; and the compulsory traffic sticker, which ensures accident compensation. I particularly emphasize the placement - usually at the lower right corner of the windshield for quick police inspection. Don't underestimate these two stickers. If missing, it's not just about fines - in case of accidents, insurance companies might deny claims, making compensation more troublesome. For updates: the inspection sticker comes directly after annual checks, while the insurance sticker arrives by mail when purchasing insurance. I've developed a habit of replacing both at the beginning of each year to ensure smooth driving. As for the environmental protection sticker, some regions have abolished it, but keeping up with local policies is always wise.

When I first bought a car, I was completely clueless about what to stick on the windows. After some research, I found out there are mainly two things: one is the annual inspection sticker, which you get after your vehicle passes the inspection; the other is the sticker, provided when you purchase compulsory insurance. Just stick them on the right side of the windshield, and don’t place them randomly. I suggest new car owners go directly to the DMV or insurance company to clarify and stick them on the spot after picking up the car. Don’t forget to update them in time, as you need to replace the stickers every year. Otherwise, the fine is the least of your worries—peace of mind on the road is what matters most. In short, just make sure they’re properly affixed.

To be honest, sticking labels on your car window isn't that complicated—just focus on the essentials. You only need to display the annual inspection sticker and the compulsory traffic sticker. The inspection sticker proves your vehicle has passed inspection, while the insurance sticker shows you have basic coverage. I generally avoid unnecessary extras, like environmental labels, which aren't required in most places now. Just place them in the lower right corner of the windshield—simple and efficient. If you forget to display them, you might face a 200-yuan fine, so I check every six months to ensure the labels are clear and intact. When you get a new car or renew them annually, taking a few minutes to stick them properly saves a lot of hassle. Remember: only display what's necessary—don't overcomplicate it.

According to traffic regulations, motor vehicle windows must display the annual inspection sticker and compulsory traffic sticker, as required by law. The annual inspection sticker is issued after passing the inspection, ensuring vehicle safety; the compulsory insurance sticker is provided by the insurance company, covering basic liability insurance. I always make sure to display them fully, placing them in the designated lower right corner to avoid traffic fines. If forgotten, the maximum penalty can be up to 200 yuan, affecting driving records. In some areas, environmental protection stickers have been integrated, eliminating the need for additional display. I update these stickers at the beginning of each year, complying with regulations not just to avoid trouble, but to ensure road order. It is recommended that vehicle owners regularly check to prevent potential issues.
