What Stickers Should Be Affixed to Car Windows?
2 Answers
Car windows should display the compulsory traffic insurance label and the annual vehicle inspection compliance label. The vehicle inspection compliance label and insurance label must be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Here are the specific details: 1. According to regulations, vehicle license plates must be mounted in designated positions at the front and rear of the vehicle, maintaining clarity and completeness. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks along with their trailers, as well as tractors and their trailers, must have enlarged license plate numbers painted on the rear of the body or cargo compartment, with the characters upright and clearly visible. 2. The vehicle inspection compliance label and insurance label should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Any spray-painted markings, stickers, or body advertisements on the vehicle must not obstruct safe driving.
I've been driving for several years. I remember when I first bought the car, a friend at the DMV told me to always stick the annual inspection sticker and compulsory traffic insurance sticker on the top right corner of the windshield. The annual inspection sticker is proof that the vehicle has passed safety checks, confirming the car meets safety standards. The compulsory insurance sticker indicates that mandatory insurance has been purchased, which covers compensation in case of an accident. Besides these two, some areas also require an environmental protection sticker, but it’s been canceled in my district. When applying the stickers, don’t layer them too thick or use extra stickers, as it may obstruct your view and lead to fines from traffic police. Nowadays, policies have changed, and many stickers have gone digital—just check them on your phone. But I still prefer to stick the annual inspection sticker as a reminder so I don’t forget. Also, avoid placing pet or decorative stickers there—they take up space and might attract unwanted attention from authorities. If new car owners are unsure, they can always check with their local traffic management office. Sticking these labels is about safety and compliance, so don’t take it lightly.
