What to Do If Your Vehicle Fails the Annual Inspection Deadline?
2 Answers
If your vehicle has passed the annual inspection deadline, you need to promptly arrange for a re-inspection. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the driver will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 penalty points, and the vehicle may be temporarily impounded. As stipulated in the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if a motor vehicle fails to obtain the inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles, it shall be deregistered. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection (Vehicles-inspection), also known as motor vehicle inspection. Depending on the usage nature of the motor vehicle, the inspection items and scope may vary. 2. Inspection Items: According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for the Qualification and Competence Assessment of Inspection Bodies—Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions," motor vehicle inspections include three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive performance inspection of automobiles.
Never drive a vehicle with an expired annual inspection – I've seen too many cases where friends got into trouble. Park the car at home immediately and look up local inspection station contacts to schedule a make-up inspection. Remember to bring your ID card, original vehicle license, valid copy of compulsory traffic insurance, and don't forget the vehicle and vessel tax certificate. If the delay doesn't exceed one month, there's usually no fine, but exceeding that will incur a 200 yuan penalty plus late fees. Make sure to clear all traffic violations before going to the inspection station, or you'll make a wasted trip. The make-up inspection process is the same as the regular annual check – it includes dynamometer tests, light and brake inspections. After completion, immediately affix the new inspection sticker to the windshield. Don't delay this – driving with an expired inspection will result in a 3-point deduction if caught, and insurance won't cover any accidents. Set a phone calendar reminder two weeks in advance for next time.
