Will the vehicle fail the annual inspection if the reverse lights are not working?

[LaJeffrey]

Reverse lights not working will cause the vehicle to fail the annual inspection, so malfunctioning reverse lights do affect the inspection. The reverse lights are located at the rear of the vehicle and illuminate when the driver shifts into reverse gear. Reverse lights serve two purposes: first, to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind that the car is reversing, and second, to illuminate the area behind the vehicle. Although reverse lights are small and not very bright, they do provide some illumination. If the reverse lights are broken, they will not light up when shifting into reverse, making it impossible to warn vehicles and pedestrians behind, which poses a safety risk. The annual inspection is conducted to: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and auxiliary equipment are clean, intact, and functional; whether the vehicle's paint is symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing; whether major standard components have been replaced and match the initial inspection records. Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, turning maneuverability, lighting, exhaust system, and other safety factors comply with the requirements of the "Technical Specifications for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." Inspect whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or reconstructed; whether all records in the vehicle's license, plate number, and vehicle file match the current condition of the vehicle and whether any changes have been made; and whether approval, modification, or alteration procedures have been applied for. Check whether the license plate printed on the vehicle, the vehicle license, and the enlarged license plate characters are damaged or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced.
