Where is the Motor Vehicle Inspection Sticker Placed?
2 Answers
Generally, the motor vehicle inspection sticker is placed on the upper right corner of the front windshield. More information about the motor vehicle inspection sticker is as follows: 1. The motor vehicle inspection sticker refers to the inspection compliance sticker issued by the traffic management department after the vehicle passes the regular safety technical inspection. 2. According to national regulations, motor vehicles must undergo regular inspections. Only after passing tests such as exhaust emissions, vehicle appearance, lights, brakes, chassis, and having no violation records can the inspection compliance sticker be issued. 3. In 2020, electronic inspection labels began to be widely promoted to replace the paper version of the annual inspection compliance sticker. Electronic inspection labels have the same legal effect as the paper version. In provinces and cities where electronic annual inspection labels have been implemented, the inspection compliance sticker does not need to be displayed.
Having driven for over 20 years, my experience tells me that the vehicle inspection sticker should always be placed on the inside of the upper right corner of the windshield. This spot is well-designed—it doesn't block the driver's view of the road, and police or inspectors can easily see the label at a glance. I remember when I first learned to drive, my instructor taught me to place it there, saying that sticking it on the side window could cause it to fall off or obstruct visibility. Later, regulations standardized the upper right corner. Whenever I apply the sticker, I always use the adhesive provided by the manufacturer, pressing it flat and firmly to prevent it from falling off after exposure to wind and rain. Having a fixed position not only makes inspections easier but also reminds me of the annual inspection date, avoiding fines for forgetting. Placing it correctly gives me peace of mind when driving, reducing unnecessary hassles.
