What stickers must be displayed on car windows?

Vehicle inspection compliance label, insurance label, and environmental protection label should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Below are the regulations for label placement: 1. Compulsory vehicle insurance: Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states that vehicle inspection compliance labels and insurance labels must be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Failure to display these labels as required may result in fines imposed by traffic police. Not displaying the compulsory insurance label will additionally incur penalty points. 2. Annual vehicle inspection label: The upper right corner of the front windshield must display not only the annual inspection compliance label but also the environmental protection label and insurance label. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," all vehicles on the road must prominently display the current year's inspection label in the upper right corner of the front windshield. 3. Green environmental protection label: According to the draft regulations, vehicles that pass environmental emission standards should be issued a green environmental protection label by the environmental protection department. Vehicles that fail to meet emission standards but are not subject to mandatory scrapping will receive a yellow environmental protection label. Vehicles that both fail emission standards and are subject to mandatory scrapping will not be issued any environmental protection label.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I believe the decals on car windows are primarily those required by law. First is the annual inspection sticker, which needs to be updated yearly and placed in the lower right corner of the windshield for police safety checks. Second is the compulsory traffic insurance decal, a mandatory insurance identifier usually placed next to the inspection sticker, ensuring coverage in case of accidents. In major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, an environmental protection decal is also required to prove the vehicle meets emission standards and reduces air pollution. Failure to display these decals can result in fines and penalty points from traffic police. I recommend placing new decals not too high to avoid obstructing the driver's view and compromising safety, and removing old decals cleanly without leaving adhesive residue. Regular maintenance should include checking if decals are peeling or fading to prevent issues during inspections.

I think besides the basic annual inspection and compulsory traffic insurance stickers, you can put some other practical stuff on the car windows to enrich your life. Of course, the core is those two legally required ones, which are usually recommended to be placed at the lower right corner of the windshield to avoid obstructing the view. I often see friends putting ETC tags for easy passage at highway toll stations or university campus parking permits. Some high-end cars also have sunshade film labels to prove the legal light transmittance isn't too high. In short, when sticking them, choose high-quality adhesive paper, avoid using too many messy decorations that can be distracting, and check before driving to ensure the core labels aren't covered by dust. Handling these small things makes driving more comfortable and reassuring.

When I first started driving, I often forgot to stick the required labels and learned my lesson the hard way. One morning, I was stopped by the police for not displaying the annual inspection sticker and was fined 200 yuan. Since then, I’ve firmly remembered that there are three essential labels to stick on the windshield: the annual inspection label, which needs to be updated every year for safety checks; the compulsory traffic insurance label as proof of mandatory insurance; and in big cities like Shanghai, the environmental protection label to control emissions. All these should be placed at the lower right corner of the windshield, not too high to obstruct the view. After making it a habit, I always check these labels during car maintenance to ensure they are secure, intact, and clearly visible for worry-free driving.
