Will I be fined for not displaying the annual inspection sticker?

Failure to display the annual vehicle inspection sticker may result in penalties. However, vehicles that have obtained an electronic inspection certificate are exempt from displaying the paper version. Penalties typically include a fine and a one-point deduction from the driver's license, and in severe cases, the vehicle may be impounded. Vehicles with an electronic inspection certificate are not required to display the paper sticker, and traffic authorities will not penalize drivers for not presenting the electronic certificate. Below are specific penalties related to this issue: 1. Failure to display the inspection or insurance sticker as required: a fine and one-point deduction; 2. Not carrying the insurance sticker: the vehicle may be impounded by traffic police, with a fine and one-point deduction; 3. Forging, altering, or using another vehicle's insurance sticker: the vehicle will be impounded, and a fine for forgery or misuse will be imposed; 4. Driving without the insurance certificate after it has been lost: the vehicle will be impounded, with a fine and one-point deduction until the sticker is reissued and the vehicle is returned; 5. Vehicles without compulsory traffic insurance: the traffic management department will not conduct the annual inspection.

As a veteran driver with years of experience, I've seen many friends fined for forgetting to display their annual inspection stickers. Indeed, failing to display the annual inspection sticker can result in traffic police issuing fines, typically around 200 yuan, and may also lead to point deductions. Once, a neighbor of mine didn't stick it on time and ended up being fined when checked, regretting it deeply. The annual inspection sticker proves that the vehicle has passed safety checks, and not displaying it can make traffic police suspect there's an issue with the car, causing delays and affecting travel plans. Now, every year after renewing the sticker, I immediately place it on the upper right corner of the windshield for peace of mind and safety. Remember to regularly check if the sticker has fallen off or faded, as it might be mistaken for not having one, leading to more troublesome consequences.

When I first bought my car, I was so excited that I didn't pay attention and forgot to put on the new annual inspection sticker. One day, I was stopped by a traffic police officer on the road and was fined 200 yuan on the spot, along with a lecture. Since then, I've learned my lesson and always put on the sticker immediately after the annual inspection. Not displaying the sticker can indeed result in a fine, usually around 200 yuan, and in some cases, points may also be deducted. Applying the sticker is simple—just use some transparent tape to secure it yourself without spending money to get help. After developing this good habit, I feel more at ease when driving, avoiding unnecessary trouble and anxiety. I also regularly check the windshield to ensure the sticker hasn't shifted or been damaged.

Yes, failing to display the annual inspection sticker can result in a fine, around 200 yuan. It's stipulated by traffic regulations that the sticker must be prominently displayed on the vehicle so traffic police can clearly see it. I've been fined a few times before, so now I make sure to put it on immediately after each inspection. It's a simple thing, don't be careless about it.
