What to Do If the Vehicle Annual Inspection Expires?
1 Answers
If a vehicle's annual inspection has expired without being addressed, the following penalties will be imposed according to relevant regulations: 1. Vehicles that fail to undergo the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road; 2. Driving a vehicle without timely annual inspection will result in 3 demerit points and a fine; 3. If a traffic accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection, the involved party will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate; 4. Driving on the road without timely annual inspection is considered illegal driving and may lead to the vehicle being impounded. If the vehicle has already exceeded the annual inspection deadline, the relevant procedures should be completed as soon as possible. Generally, for vehicles that have exceeded the annual inspection deadline by less than one year, timely completion of the annual inspection procedures at the vehicle management department will not result in penalties. The following documents are required for the annual inspection: 1. Original copy of the 'Motor Vehicle Driving License'; 2. Original copy of the valid compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy for the current year; 3. Valid proof of payment or exemption of vehicle and vessel tax for the current year; 4. Original copy of the owner's identity proof. If an agent is applying, the agent's ID card and a written power of attorney signed by the vehicle owner must be submitted.
