Will Traffic Police Check Car Body Stickers?
2 Answers
Applying car stickers on the vehicle body will not be checked if they comply with relevant regulations. The following are the illegal regulations regarding car stickers: 1. Sticker color: Special vehicle colors such as red for firefighting, yellow for engineering rescue, and the white upper part with blue lower part for national administrative law enforcement are not allowed for ordinary vehicles. 2. Sticker identification: The logos sprayed or pasted on the car or advertisements on the body must not affect safe driving. 3. Sticker area: The area of car stickers must not exceed 30%. If it exceeds 30%, an application for record filing should be submitted to the traffic management department.
As a car modification enthusiast myself, I often stick various decals on the car body to express individuality, but traffic police do inspect these stickers. If you apply large advertisement stickers or exaggerated promotional content, they can easily attract attention and get checked, because according to regulations, body advertisements require approval. More importantly, stickers must not obstruct visibility—for example, large decals on the windshield or side windows can interfere with driving safety, and traffic police will immediately ask you to remove them or issue a fine if spotted. The content must also be legal; avoid sensitive or violent themes to prevent trouble. I once tried a humorous sticker and ended up getting lectured. I recommend using small, inconspicuous decorative stickers that don’t affect driving, and regularly check for updates to local traffic rules—for instance, significant changes to the car’s color may require reporting to avoid getting caught while driving. In short, personalization is great, but safety comes first—don’t risk big consequences for small gains.
