Will Traffic Police Check Cars with Black Roof Stickers?
1 Answers
Generally, traffic police do not check cars with black roof films. However, there is no precise or uniform answer to this question, as it largely depends on the enforcement practices of local traffic police. Additionally, they might check during surprise inspections. First, as long as the color change does not exceed 30% of the vehicle's total surface area, there is no need to report it to the vehicle management office—it is legal, and the vehicle will pass the annual inspection without issues. If the modification exceeds 30%, according to legal regulations, it must be reported to the vehicle management office; otherwise, it is considered illegal, and the vehicle will fail the annual inspection. For specifics, you can refer to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations." The drawbacks of black roof films include the following: 1. They degrade over time: After prolonged use, the film can become unsightly due to aging and will need to be removed. However, removing it can be difficult, and even if you manage to peel it off, residual adhesive will likely remain on the roof, requiring additional cleanup. 2. Black absorbs heat: This is the most significant drawback. Most people are aware of this issue. Especially during summer, even brief exposure to sunlight can make the roof feel like a boiler, leading to increased air conditioning use and, consequently, higher fuel consumption.
