If the vehicle has exceeded the regular inspection period, the first thing to do is to stop driving it on the road and proceed with the annual inspection as soon as possible. Documents required for the annual inspection: Original "Motor Vehicle Driving License," valid original copy of the current year's compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy, valid proof of payment or exemption of the current year's vehicle and vessel tax, and original personal identity document. Appointment methods: To conduct the annual inspection, an appointment must be made in advance, and the earliest available slot is usually the next day. There are two ways to make an appointment: one is by phone, and the other is online, both of which are convenient to operate.

The vehicle's periodic inspection is overdue, let me explain this in detail. Don't panic, but immediately stop driving this car because you might get caught if driven out, facing high fines and point deductions. Quickly check if there are any major issues with the vehicle, especially safety-critical components like brakes and lights. If problems are found, first take it to a reliable repair shop for fixes. Then, bring your vehicle license, ID card, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the inspection station in person for renewal. The process usually includes on-site inspection and payment of possible fines and inspection fees. If the overdue period is short, the fine amount is smaller; if longer, the trouble increases, potentially even affecting insurance claims. I recommend booking an inspection appointment to avoid queues. Set up a phone reminder or use an annual inspection reminder app to prevent similar situations. Safety is no small matter; the risks of overdue inspections are significant, so it's crucial to address it promptly and seriously.

Hey, as an experienced driver, I've been through a similar situation. Don't delay if your vehicle inspection has expired. I once forgot the date and got pulled over by traffic police while driving, resulting in a 200-yuan fine and penalty points. Go to the inspection station immediately to resolve the issue: prepare your vehicle license and ID card copies, plus some cash for the fine. During inspection, they'll check if your vehicle meets standards - if everything's okay, they'll renew it. Cost-wise, there's a basic inspection fee plus fines, with longer delays meaning higher penalties. It's best to book an official inspection station early to save time and hassle. Regular inspections are legally required - if expired, insurance won't cover accidents, which is too risky. I later set an annual inspection reminder on my phone calendar for automatic notifications, never missing it again. Don't underestimate this - timely handling benefits everyone.

If your vehicle inspection has expired, take immediate action. Drive directly to our location, and we'll conduct a free preliminary inspection to ensure there are no issues before you visit the official inspection station. Avoid driving during the expired period to prevent fines if caught. Bring your documents and spend some time to renew the inspection—the process is simple but must be done in person. If your car has any problems, we'll help you fix them quickly. Fines are relatively low if expired within a month, but delays can lead to higher penalties and even difficulties in passing the annual inspection. We recommend checking the inspection date during regular maintenance and using a notebook or app reminder to avoid forgetting. Safety comes first—overdue inspections may lead to unclear liability in accidents.

Buddy, no need to worry about an expired vehicle inspection. Just download a traffic management app, schedule your annual inspection service on it, enter your license plate number, upload photos of your ID and vehicle registration as required, and pay a small fine plus the inspection fee. It's super convenient to handle everything online without running around. If your car is in normal condition, the inspection station will contact you directly after booking. The cost isn't high, but don't delay too long, otherwise the fine will keep increasing. Driving with an expired inspection can affect your credit if caught, and you might even end up on a blacklist. I'm used to managing these things with digital tools, like setting an annual reminder on my phone.

Is it normal for the car interior to be damp on rainy days?

It is normal for the car interior to be damp on rainy days. Here are some related introductions about cars on rainy days: Precautions: Be cautious when driving on roads with accumulated water, generally moving forward at low speed in a straight line, and avoid stopping arbitrarily. If the water level exceeds the exhaust pipe, detour is necessary. Cleaning method: If you find that the wiper blades have hardened during cleaning, replace them immediately. Because hardened wiper blades cannot fully adhere to the glass, they fail to clean the glass effectively. After cleaning the front windshield, if dirt is not removed promptly, an oil film will quickly reappear, and it will accumulate thicker over time.
