Will points be deducted for overdue vehicle inspection of a car?

Overdue vehicle inspection of a car will result in a deduction of 3 points. Penalties for overdue inspection: Vehicle overdue inspection can be rectified, but penalties will be imposed. If a motor vehicle fails to undergo safety technical inspection within the prescribed period, a fine will be issued and 3 points will be deducted. For annual inspection, bring the vehicle registration certificate, copy of compulsory traffic insurance, and ensure all traffic violations are handled; then proceed to the local vehicle management office for the annual inspection. Time limit: The Road Traffic Law stipulates that vehicles that fail to participate in the inspection on time are not allowed to drive on the road, with a fine and deduction of 3 points. The vehicle registration will not be canceled for not undergoing annual inspection, but the latest deadline is the end of the month noted on the vehicle registration certificate. No late fees will be charged, but overdue inspection fees must be paid if it exceeds one inspection cycle. If the vehicle is found by traffic police on the road without annual inspection, the owner will be fined or the vehicle may be impounded.

Driving your car without an annual inspection can indeed lead to penalty points. I remember a friend of mine was once pulled over by traffic police and immediately had 3 points deducted from his license, plus a 200-yuan fine. Why such regulations? Because annual vehicle inspections check critical safety components like brakes and lights, preventing potentially hazardous vehicles from being on the road. If you neglect inspections for a long time and an accident occurs, insurance companies may even refuse to cover the damages, not to mention the potential for serious crashes. My advice: set a phone reminder to visit the inspection station ahead of time, and don’t slack on regular maintenance. Safety comes first—don’t risk major trouble to save a little money. Handling it promptly saves a lot of hassle. Looking back at my friend’s regret, he really should’ve acted sooner.

Driving a car without an annual inspection is literally gambling with your life. Having driven for many years, I've witnessed numerous accidents caused by vehicle aging. Traffic rules impose demerit points precisely to push you into maintaining your car—like failing to detect brake malfunctions, which can lead to accidents in an instant. Getting 3 demerit points and a fine is actually the least of your worries; what's truly terrifying is causing a chain collision at night due to faulty lights. As a seasoned driver, I always say: check the expiration date on your windshield inspection sticker, and never let it lapse. Spending just half an hour each year on an inspection not only avoids fines and points but, more importantly, protects you and your family. Once it becomes a habit, everything runs much smoother.

Ouch, last time I forgot my car's annual inspection and got caught as soon as I drove out—lost 3 points on my license and my wallet got 200 yuan lighter. So frustrating! Learned my lesson: now I set calendar reminders on my phone to get it checked on time every year. Don't underestimate this—delaying not only means points and fines but could also lead to your car being towed, with even higher repair costs. Early action saves trouble, and the inspection station isn't far anyway. Safety first for drivers.
