What Stickers Should Be Displayed on a Car?

Vehicle Inspection Sticker, Environmental Protection Sticker, Compulsory Insurance Sticker. Below is relevant information about vehicle stickers: 1. Vehicle Inspection Sticker: Valid for one year. 2. Environmental Protection Sticker: Issued for energy-saving and emission-reduction inspections as well as regular vehicle environmental checks, categorized into yellow and green stickers, requiring annual inspection. 3. Compulsory Insurance Sticker: Currently, vehicles only need to display two stickers—compulsory insurance and annual inspection. The environmental protection sticker has been abolished and merged with the annual inspection sticker. Private vehicles with 6 seats or fewer (including 6 seats) are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, but must provide proof of compulsory insurance renewal to the traffic police department every 2 years to update the annual inspection sticker. Starting from the 6th year, vehicles must undergo annual inspections until the vehicle reaches 15 years of age.
I've been driving for a while now, and there are a few basic decals that need to be displayed on the car, otherwise you might get fined when on the road. First is the compulsory insurance decal, which the insurance company issues every year after you purchase the mandatory traffic insurance. It must be placed on the upper right corner of the front windshield, and if it's not displayed, traffic police can fine you. There's also the vehicle inspection decal, given after passing the annual inspection, which must also be properly displayed to ensure the vehicle is in safe condition. Additionally, if you're a new driver, it's best to display a novice driver decal to alert others of your inexperience, which often prompts them to give way when overtaking or parking. A friend of mine once forgot to display the insurance decal and was fined 200 yuan, on top of having to get a replacement. Nowadays, some cities also require an environmental protection decal. For example, where I live, I had to get a new eco-friendly sticker to prevent exceeding emission standards. Overall, these decals are not just legal requirements but also help reduce the risk of accidents. I always double-check their placement whenever I need to replace them.
