Vehicles eligible for exemption from inspection include non-commercial passenger cars and other small or mini passenger vehicles within 6 years, excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats. Below is an introduction to the exemption: 1. Vehicle Inspection Exemption: This means the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection, but verification of compulsory traffic insurance payment and traffic violation handling must still be conducted regularly at the vehicle management department. 2. Exemption Policy: Privately-owned small cars registered on or after September 1, 2010, are eligible for this exemption policy. Below is extended information about vehicles not eligible for exemption: 1. Exemption Scope: Vehicles with 7 or more seats are not eligible for exemption; vehicles involved in accidents are not eligible for the 6-year exemption. 2. Exemption Policy: New vehicles within the scope that have been involved in accidents causing casualties are not eligible for exemption. 3. Exemption Policy: Vehicles that remain unregistered for a long time are also not eligible for exemption, meaning vehicles that have not completed registration procedures within 4 years from the manufacturing date are not eligible. Taxis, training vehicles, and other commercial vehicles still require annual inspection as per original requirements.

My car is just an ordinary sedan, which happens to be a non-commercial vehicle with fewer than 9 seats, so it enjoys the convenience of a 6-year exemption from on-site annual inspections. This policy applies to small vehicles such as SUVs and MPVs, mainly to save everyone the hassle of queuing for inspections. But don't forget, exemption doesn't mean you can completely ignore it; you still need to apply for an inspection sticker every two years via the 12123 app, which is quite simple. I've been driving this car for several years now, and it feels really hassle-free, plus it saves time. The key point is that the car must not have been involved in any major accidents, otherwise the exemption will be void. A reminder to new car owners: check the vehicle type clearly before purchasing to ensure it falls within the policy's scope. Regularly inspect the lights and brakes yourself—safety first. Overall, this policy encourages environmentally friendly new cars and saves resources, making driving more comfortable for everyone.

Remember the torture of annual vehicle inspections in the past? As someone who's been driving for decades, I'm thrilled about the new policy where only non-commercial vehicles with 9 seats or fewer are exempt from on-site inspections for 6 years. This includes compact cars and regular SUVs – what a relief! The process is simple: just apply for the inspection exemption label online every two years, which takes just a minute. Of course, vehicles with accident records or illegal modifications don't qualify. Veteran drivers suggest keeping your car clean, avoiding overloading, and maintaining the engine well – not only does this extend your vehicle's lifespan, but it also meets the inspection exemption requirements. Having tried this several times myself, I can confirm it saves both time and money, making it a real blessing for frequent drivers. But remember, policies may change, so stay updated with official announcements to avoid missing deadlines.

Small non-commercial passenger vehicles with no more than 9 seats are eligible for a 6-year exemption from on-site inspections. This includes common sedans, standard MPVs, and most SUVs. During the exemption period, owners must apply for the inspection emblem online every two years, provided there are no records of major accidents. I chose my vehicle based on this standard, and the actual operation is quick: just log in to 12123, fill in the information, and submit. Key points to remember: trucks or commercial vehicles are not eligible, and the count starts from the date of new vehicle purchase. Regular checks on tires and lights are essential to avoid potential hazards. This policy is designed for the convenience of car owners, with safe driving as the foundation.

Can a 20-Year-Old Car Still Drive on the Highway?

20-year-old cars can drive on the highway. Here are three key points to note when driving on the highway: 1. Entering the highway: You should accelerate to over 60 km/h as soon as possible. Vehicles entering from the ramp must speed up in the acceleration lane and should not obstruct vehicles already on the main lane when merging. Drive in the outer lane initially. 2. While driving: Stay in the driving lane. Small passenger vehicles should drive in the middle lane, while large buses and trucks should use the right lane. 3. Avoid arbitrary lane changes: When changing lanes or overtaking, always signal in advance. At night, switch between high and low beams to confirm safety before changing lanes. Overtaking is only allowed using adjacent lanes.

Can a 45-liter car fuel tank hold 50 liters of fuel?

45-liter fuel tank can hold 50 liters of fuel. Here are the detailed explanations: National Standard: According to national mandatory standards, considering vehicle safety and fuel characteristics, automakers generally specify the rated capacity of fuel tanks in manuals at 95% of the maximum actual capacity, with some manufacturers setting it at 90% or 80%. Therefore, if the manual states a nominal capacity of 45 liters, filling it with 50 liters is perfectly normal. Difference between rated capacity and maximum actual capacity: Do not mistake the rated capacity for the maximum actual capacity. Many factors affect a vehicle's fuel consumption, and do not mistakenly use the driving mileage as a basis to judge the accuracy of refueling.
