Which labels must be affixed to the car window?
2 Answers
Three major labels must be affixed to the front windshield: the motor vehicle inspection compliance label, the compulsory insurance label, and the environmental protection inspection compliance label. Below are more detailed explanations: Motor Vehicle Inspection Compliance Label: This label indicates that the vehicle has passed the annual inspection, meaning it meets the conditions for road use. Vehicles nearing the end of their service life will not pass the annual inspection and thus will not have this label. The color of the label varies by year to facilitate easy identification. Compulsory Insurance Label: The compulsory insurance label is well-known and must be displayed. Purchasing compulsory auto insurance is a mandatory requirement. In the event of an accident, the insurance company will provide compensation within the scope of liability, significantly reducing financial burdens and offering a form of protection. Environmental Protection Inspection Compliance Label: The environmental protection label for vehicles is a grading label for emission standards, categorized into yellow and green types based on vehicle models and emission standards. Currently, the environmental protection label has been abolished to reduce the burden on vehicle owners. However, vehicle exhaust emission testing remains a mandatory inspection item.
I remember when buying a new car, you need to stick several labels on the front windshield, like the annual inspection sticker to show the car has passed the safety check, and the insurance sticker to prove you have coverage in case of an accident for claims. In big cities, you also need an environmental protection sticker to control pollution. When I first started driving, I wasn’t familiar with this and didn’t stick the insurance label in time. I got caught by a traffic camera and fined several hundred yuan—it really hurt. Now, every year when I renew them, I stick them in the top right corner at a fixed spot, making sure they don’t block my view. Otherwise, driving on the highway with obscured vision is dangerous. A veteran driver friend also reminded me to use strong glue to secure them firmly, so they won’t fall off in wind or rain, avoiding the hassle of redoing it. In short, these three labels are essential, and new drivers should always check the manual or ask the 4S store to be sure.
