What to Do When the Inspection Validity Period on the Vehicle License Expires
2 Answers
The inspection validity period on the back page of the vehicle license has expired, and you should promptly go to the local vehicle management office for a vehicle inspection. Otherwise, the vehicle will not be legally allowed on the road. Here are more related details: 1. Required materials for re-inspection: Original vehicle license, valid compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy, valid vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, and original personal ID. 2. Consequences of an expired vehicle license inspection: The vehicle cannot legally be on the road; if the vehicle is found by traffic police, the driver will be fined 200 yuan and deducted 3 points; in the event of a traffic accident, the party involved will bear full responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate; if the vehicle has not been re-inspected for three consecutive inspections after the inspection validity period expires, the vehicle will be forcibly scrapped.
I remember last year when my vehicle inspection validity was about to expire, I was in a bit of a hurry, worried that I might forget to deal with it and get fined for driving. I quickly checked online and found it was quite simple: first, download the appointment APP from the DMV website to schedule a time in advance, avoiding long queues; then bring the original ID card, vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and other required materials; drive the car to the designated inspection site for checks like brakes and emissions; once it passes inspection, you can immediately get the new label and stick it on the windshield. The whole process took less than two hours and cost just a few dozen yuan. Since then, I've set a phone reminder to avoid forgetting again, and I also check the document dates during regular car maintenance to prevent delays.
