What stickers need to be placed on car windows?

No stickers are required on side windows. However, the front windshield must display three mandatory decals: the annual inspection sticker, compulsory traffic insurance sticker, and environmental protection sticker (note that environmental and insurance sticker requirements may vary by region). Vehicle owners must ensure timely annual inspections and maintain valid compulsory insurance coverage, otherwise the vehicle cannot be legally driven on public roads. Car windows constitute essential components of vehicle bodies, operating through electrical power to drive window regulator motors that move glass panels vertically, enabling automatic window operation. Their primary functions include providing interior lighting, ventilation, and maintaining visibility for drivers and passengers.
I've been driving for almost ten years, and there are mainly three key decals on my car window: first, the vehicle inspection certificate, commonly known as the annual inspection sticker, proving the car has passed safety checks; second, the compulsory insurance decal, indicating that mandatory insurance is in place; third, if you're a new driver, it's advisable to display a novice driver decal to alert other vehicles for safety. These are typically placed at the lower right corner of the windshield without obstructing the view. Additionally, some regions require an emissions inspection decal to ensure environmental compliance. Remember to replace these decals on time—for instance, renew the annual inspection sticker before it expires to avoid a 200-yuan fine if caught by traffic police. When removing old stickers, use a scraper carefully to avoid damaging the glass or leaving adhesive marks that affect appearance.
