What to Do If the A2 Driving License Inspection Exceeds 30 Days?
3 Answers
A2 driving license inspection is overdue, and you cannot drive on the road. If there are special reasons for not being able to handle it in time, you can apply for a delay in the annual inspection, which can be extended for up to 3 years. If it exceeds 3 years, the A2 driving license will be downgraded to a C1 driving license. However, during the period of extending the driving license annual inspection, you are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle, otherwise, there will be corresponding penalties. The following is the relevant introduction to the vehicle inspection: 1. Handling the inspection procedures: You need to go to the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority where the motor vehicle driving license was issued to handle the inspection procedures. Only after completing the inspection procedures can you drive a motor vehicle. 2. Not allowed to drive during the license renewal period: During the period when the motor vehicle driving license inspection is overdue and the license is being renewed, you are not allowed to drive on the road.
I've been through this before. For an A2 license, exceeding the expiration date by 30 days still falls within the grace period. Quickly open the Traffic Management 12123 APP to see if you can apply for the review online. If it prompts you to go in person, then hurry to the vehicle management office. Remember to bring your ID card, original driver's license, and a one-inch white background photo. On-site, you'll need to fill out an application form, take a vision test, and sometimes watch a half-hour safety warning video. Don't delay! If you haven't reviewed for over a year, your license will be directly revoked. If it's been over three years, there's no chance for reinstatement—it's completely void, and you'll have to retake all four exams (from Theory to Road Test). Be extra careful when driving during the review period. If caught, it's considered driving without a license, and the consequences can be severe.
My driver's license is A2 class. Last time I remembered to renew it over 40 days late. The DMV staff told me that I could directly apply for reinstatement within 1 year, but exceeding 30 days usually requires attending a 3-hour traffic safety course. The on-site procedure was: first take a number at the window to submit materials, then undergo a physical examination checking vision, color recognition ability, etc. After paying a fee of several dozen yuan, the staff directed me to the safety education room to watch accident case videos. Upon completing the course, they stamped my renewal approval. The entire process took about two hours to complete, but I need to be extra careful while driving in the coming months - even minor traffic violations could cause significant complications.
