What to do if the vehicle annual inspection is overdue for a few days?

The vehicle management office will issue a violation notice for overdue inspection, and then you need to go to the traffic police station to handle the overdue inspection. A fine will be imposed with 2 points deducted, and after completing the procedures, you can obtain the inspection at the vehicle management office. As long as it does not exceed one month, the annual inspection can still be conducted.
I've been driving for twenty years, and last year I was so busy that I forgot the annual inspection, which was overdue for a whole week. I immediately stopped driving the car to avoid being caught by traffic police and fined or penalized. I went directly to the local vehicle management office with my ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration for a supplementary inspection. After explaining the situation, I was only fined 100 yuan, and it didn't cause any major issues. If the overdue period is short, they usually give you a chance, but if it drags on for too long, the insurance might become invalid and won't cover any accidents. Now, I set a phone reminder in advance every year and keep a vehicle maintenance diary to avoid forgetting again. Safety comes first—don't let small issues turn into big disasters.
