With the continuous deepening of China's traffic management policy and the continuous promotion of the reform measures of "delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, and providing services", the annual examination system of automobiles will usher in major changes again in 2023. This series of changes aims to simplify the process, reduce the burden on car owners, and ensure road traffic safety, which further reflects the determination to streamline administration and delegate power and the concept of convenient services.
First of all, the major adjustment of the annual review cycle has brought substantial convenience to the majority of car owners. In the new regulations, the eighth year of the online inspection program for private cars has been abolished, which means that vehicles only need to undergo online testing once in the sixth year within ten years. At the same time, for old vehicles that are more than 15 years old, the first instance is changed from two trials a year to one trial, which effectively reduces the frequency of vehicle owners going to and from the inspection station and saves a lot of time and economic costs.
Secondly, the list of annual examination items for automobiles has also been greatly streamlined. According to the latest policy, six of the original mandatory inspection items, including noise detection, exhaust gas detection, suspension detection, lighting detection and handbrake detection, have been eliminated. Although it may seem that the inspection of lights is not officially included in the list of inspection items, in fact, due to its importance to driving safety, the relevant authorities still inspect and supervise it in other forms.
What is more noteworthy is that for private cars with a service life of less than ten years, the annual review system has implemented the optimization measures of "two inspections and three signatures". Specifically, these vehicles only need to undergo two on-line inspections in years 6 and 10, while electronic conformity tags can be conveniently collected via an online platform during years 4, 6 and 8. This change undoubtedly greatly reduces the problem of frequent annual reviews for car owners, making it easier to maintain and use cars.
To sum up, a series of reforms in this year's annual car review not only simplify the complicated procedures, but also reduce the burden on car owners and improve the car review experience by scientifically and reasonably adjusting the testing cycle and items. According to statistics, these reform measures are expected to benefit hundreds of millions of car owners across the country, saving hundreds of millions of hours of waiting time and related expenses every year.
Looking forward to the future, in the context of the country's streamlining and decentralization, the annual examination system of automobiles is expected to continue to deepen the reform and pay more attention to the service model that combines humanization and efficiency. We look forward to the introduction of more policies that are beneficial to car owners, making the annual review process simpler and faster, and also calling on all car owners to actively pay attention to and participate in relevant discussions to jointly promote the progress and improvement of China's motor vehicle management system.
Here, we sincerely invite readers to share your views and suggestions on the current reform of the automobile annual review system, so that we can work together to build a more harmonious, convenient and safe traffic environment.
