What to Do If the Vehicle License Annual Inspection Expires?
4 Answers
Vehicle owners with expired licenses should drive their vehicles as soon as possible and bring the original vehicle license and the original compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate valid for more than 15 days to the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to complete the annual inspection. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Annual Inspection: The vehicle license does not have a fixed expiration date because the expiration date on the license changes after each annual inspection. Therefore, an expired vehicle license actually means the vehicle's annual inspection has expired. 2. Consequences of an Expired Vehicle Annual Inspection: Vehicles that have not undergone the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving a vehicle without timely annual inspection will result in a 3-point penalty and a fine of 200 yuan. If an accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate.
Bro, I've been through this before. Don't panic if your vehicle inspection is overdue, but don't delay either. My advice is: stop driving immediately because if the traffic police stop you, they might impound your car, issue a fine, and deduct points. The fine usually ranges from 50 to 500 RMB. Quickly check the expiration date, then bring your vehicle license, ID card, and compulsory insurance documents to the local DMV or inspection station to get it sorted. The process isn't complicated—just fill out a form, pay the fee, and get reinspected. The cost is typically around 100 RMB plus the fine. If your car has any issues, fix them before the inspection. Remember to set a phone reminder next time and start preparing a month in advance to avoid trouble. Safety comes first—don't take risks just to save trouble.
Oh my, I forgot my last annual inspection was overdue by a month, got pulled over and fined over 200 yuan, almost got points deducted too – what a hassle. So listen up: If you discover it's expired, stop driving immediately or your insurance might deny claims if something happens. Look up the DMV number to schedule a make-up inspection, bring all required documents to get it done in one go. The fee depends on how many days it's overdue, usually no more than 300 yuan. Don't procrastinate – just spend half a day sorting it out. Make it a habit to regularly check your documents, and only drive long distances when your vehicle's in good condition.
My friend Xiao Liu ignored his vehicle inspection being overdue for three months last year, and ended up getting heavily fined when checked on the highway, which also delayed his trip. We all learned our lesson afterward. The solution is simple: stop the car and contact the DMV to arrange a reinspection. Bring the original certificate and your personal ID, and you can complete the process, pay the fee, and get a new sticker in one day. The key is not to procrastinate—safety first to avoid any accidents.
