Will a vehicle without annual inspection be automatically photographed on the road?
2 Answers
Vehicles without annual inspection will be captured by electronic surveillance cameras. Below are the relevant details: Corresponding regulations: During the period when the motor vehicle driver's license is legally seized, detained, or temporarily suspended, if the driver uses concealment or deception to obtain a replacement license; or if the driver's physical condition changes and becomes unsuitable for driving, yet continues to drive. Penalties apply. Vehicle inspection procedures: The vehicle owner or unit must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Form" and submit it to the designated location for inspection on the date specified by the local vehicle management office. If the vehicle passes inspection, the vehicle management authority will affix a seal on the driving license and the "Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Form."
My neighbor Lao Wang learned this lesson the hard way. He drove his SUV around for three months past its inspection deadline. On the third day, he received a text notification that it had been caught by an electronic eye under the city's elevated highway. Nowadays, the traffic management system is quite smart—surveillance cameras scan license plates and instantly connect to the vehicle management database, identifying inspection status in minutes. It's not just big cities; even key intersections in our county town installed this smart equipment last year. Lao Wang's penalty: 3 points deducted, a 200-yuan fine, and potential impacts on insurance claims. My advice: set a phone reminder for your vehicle inspection—don't wait until the police come knocking to regret it.
