  There are significantly fewer vehicles coming for inspection, so there is no need to queue... This is what a reporter from the "Rules of Law Daily" saw when he came to Tianjin Tongshunda Motor Vehicle Inspection Co., Ltd. located in Shangcang Town, Jizhou District, Tianjin City on the afternoon of October 9.

Before, reporters came here many times to inspect the car, and they had to queue for a long time to complete the car inspection.

The on-site staff told reporters that after the reform of vehicle inspection, there are many fewer people who come to inspect the car every day, and the new car registration plate only checks the vehicle identification such as the frame number, and the green book and insurance policy can be completed soon.

  Many car owners interviewed expressed their support and welcome for the further relaxation of the inspection cycle for private cars.

Industry experts said that the relaxation of the inspection period is equivalent to reducing the cost of using vehicles, which is not only convenient for private car owners, but also is expected to mobilize consumers' enthusiasm for car purchases and provide new momentum for encouraging my country's automobile consumption.

  Cost savings for car owners

  It is understood that the "Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Motor Vehicle Inspection System and Optimizing Vehicle Inspection Services" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") adjusted the annual inspection frequency of non-operating small and micro passenger vehicles (9 seats and below, except for vans), from the original The 10-year on-line inspection has been reduced from 3 to 2, respectively, in the sixth and tenth years, and the original inspection in the eighth year has been cancelled; if it exceeds 10 years, the inspection will be reduced to one inspection per year, and the original semi-annual inspection since 2015 has been cancelled. one-time rule.

For motorcycles, the original 5 on-line inspections in 10 years have been reduced to 2, respectively, in the sixth and 10th years; the regulations remain unchanged for more than 10 years, and the on-line inspection is still once a year.

  However, within 10 years, these two types of vehicles still need to apply to the public security organ for an inspection mark every two years.

  Chen Yuan, senior partner of Beijing Yingke (Shanghai) Law Firm, analyzed that the main purpose of the state's implementation of the compulsory motor vehicle inspection system is to ensure that the vehicles on the road meet the safety standards and environmental performance requirements, and are responsible for the people's personal property and environmental protection. action.

In recent years, with the increasing maturity of automobile manufacturing technology, the rapid development of industrial automation technology, the continuous improvement of environmental protection technology and the quality of automobile products, and the increased awareness of vehicle maintenance by private car owners, the safety problems of vehicles themselves are becoming less and less. Therefore, various sectors of the society have generally called for relaxation of the inspection cycle for private cars.

  "This is an institutional response by the administrative organs to actively respond to the expectations of the masses, adapt to the development of the automobile industry, traffic safety, and promote the streamlining of administration and decentralization. The adjustment of the inspection cycle has brought convenience to consumers, reduced the burden of inspection costs, and also It saves the management costs of administrative organs and will further enhance the smoothness of car consumption." said Yao Jinju, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University.

  Ms. Qi, a motorcycle enthusiast from Beijing, told reporters that the new annual inspection regulations are more reasonable. When choosing a motorcycle or a car as a travel tool, considering the inconvenience caused by frequent annual inspections of motorcycles, in order to save trouble, I decided to buy a small motorcycle. Cars, now more inclined to buy motorcycles after optimization.

  "The new annual inspection regulations have really reduced the burden on car owners, especially in previous years, the annual inspection queues, which were a headache, have been optimized to the form of online appointments, which not only reduces the most time-consuming part, but also saves the need to find 'scalpers' instead of queuing for car inspections. money," said Mr. Zhang Zhuang from Chengdu, Sichuan.

  Ms. Wu, a car owner in Tianjin, told reporters that she originally planned to change the car this year, because the car she was driving was nearly 15 years old. It would be too troublesome to require a half-yearly inspection as before, and the new regulations make it clear that more than 10 years only need to be inspected every year. At one time, it was relatively easy to accept, "I will not change the car for the time being. This old car can continue to run for a few years, which relieves the economic pressure."

  Zheng Ning, director of the Law Department of the School of Cultural Industry Management at Communication University of China, said that the adjustment of the inspection cycle is a measure taken by the public security and other departments to actively implement people-centered, convenient and beneficial measures for the people.

The purpose of the private car inspection system is to ensure traffic safety. With the continuous development of the automobile industry, the awareness of private car owners' vehicle maintenance has been continuously enhanced, and it is necessary and feasible to relax the private car inspection cycle.

Private car inspection is more convenient, and it can also stimulate car consumption in a certain sense.

  Effectively combat the grey interest chain

  In the "Opinions", in response to the problems of low vehicle inspection efficiency and poor service reported by the public, a number of new measures to reform the vehicle inspection system have been introduced.

If all localities are required to actively implement "point-to-point" vehicle inspection appointment services such as the Internet and mobile apps, the public can enjoy the online appointment vehicle inspection service in the "12123" App of the traffic control, which is convenient for the public to make "one-click appointment" and "on-the-go inspection".

  In terms of optimizing the vehicle inspection service process, all localities will implement the "turnkey" convenient service for vehicle inspection, optimize the vehicle inspection service process, and the staff of the inspection agency will be responsible for the settlement at one time. manage.

  At the same time, all localities will formulate management service standards for inspection agencies, promote the standardization of vehicle inspection service halls, service windows, and testing procedures, promote standards with standards, improve quality with services, and comprehensively improve the level of vehicle inspection services.

  In order to ensure the implementation of the reform measures, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the Ministry of Transportation and other four departments will closely cooperate and cooperate to formulate supporting implementation rules, earnestly implement the reform measures, and solve the problem of illegal intermediaries disturbing the people from the source.

For illegal intermediaries harassing the people, internal and external collusion, and illegal inspection problems, we will jointly organize investigations, strictly pursue accountability in accordance with the law, and expose them through the media.

  The owner of a vehicle repair shop in Tianjin said that they have been undertaking the business of carrying out annual vehicle inspections on behalf of others, which are mainly divided into two types. One is to carry out vehicle inspections for car owners; the other is to replace substandard parts for old cars. Pass the vehicle inspection.

The former charges 300 yuan, and the latter depends on the actual situation.

  Several car owners told reporters that in order to save time and trouble, they usually find scalpers to handle the business, which costs three or four hundred yuan.

  After the new regulations, at the gates of many testing stations, the reporter still saw some people engaged in the licensing inspection business. After inquiries, they found that the price was significantly lower than before. For example, the licensing agency or car inspection has changed from 300 yuan to 200 yuan. .

  Regarding the issue of scalpers, Chen Yuan said that many car owners did not understand the annual inspection process or found it troublesome, and entrusted illegal intermediaries and scalpers to handle it on their behalf, which made motor vehicle inspections in a few places and fields a mere formality, indiscriminate charges and other problems, resulting in underground ash The new vehicle inspection process is conducive to cracking down on the gray interest chain and solving the problem of illegal intermediaries disturbing the people from the source.

  "Cumbersome administrative procedures often breed illegal intermediaries and scalpers, and the relaxation of the vehicle inspection process and the standardization of vehicle inspection order will lead to a significant reduction in the living space of illegal intermediaries and scalpers." Zheng Ning said.

  Make new car inspection more convenient

  During the interview, a number of interviewed car owners asked whether the process could be further simplified and the license plate inspection of new cars was also exempted?

  It is understood that in 2010, the relevant departments of our country issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Consistency Supervision, Management and Registration of Road Motor Vehicles", which stipulated that starting from October 1 of that year, before the registration of motor vehicles, it is no longer required to carry out Motor vehicle safety technical inspection.

The "Regulations on Motor Vehicle Registration" implemented on May 1, 2022 further clarified that if the vehicle management office is connected to the new vehicle factory inspection information of the motor vehicle manufacturer, when the owner of the motor vehicle applies for the registration of small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles, Exemption from inspection of motor vehicles.

  The above-mentioned car owners believe that the vehicle can only leave the factory if it passes the inspection, and it can only be sold if the quality is good after leaving the factory. If inspection is still required, it can only indicate that there are loopholes in the preliminary inspection, and this situation should not be carried out by consumers. Vehicle inspection should be strengthened by relevant departments to supervise and manage to avoid unqualified vehicles.

  Yao Jinju said: "At present, the new car adopts a six-year inspection-free policy. In fact, the factory inspection of new cars has not really been cancelled, but has been completed in the production stage. The main body of inspection has changed from administrative agencies to car manufacturers. Traffic safety, environmental pollution control, etc. are still very necessary, but the inspection can be pre-positioned, and the administrative agency can change its original inspection responsibility to the supervision responsibility of automobile manufacturers, which not only ensures the professionalism of inspection, but also reduces consumers. approval costs.”

  But in Chen Yuan's view, the inspection of the new car is indeed necessary and should not be cancelled.

At present, the inspection of new car registration is only a formal consistency inspection, not a real car online inspection.

Moreover, through the registration inspection link of the vehicle management department, vehicle manufacturers, 4S shops or other dealers can also avoid tampering or concealment of vehicle information to a certain extent, which is conducive to protecting the rights and interests of new car owners.

  Dai Xianfeng, senior partner of Beijing Yingke Law Firm and vice chairman of the Legal Work Committee of China Communications and Transportation Association, also believes that the inspection of new cars is necessary.

He explained that when the buyer's owner and the seller's seller have a dispute over the safety and quality of the vehicle, the inspection results when the new car is registered can provide a basis for judging liability; accidents may occur during the entire transportation of the new car from the factory to the seller's warehouse. The damage of the vehicle may even affect the safety performance of the vehicle; the inspection can effectively prevent the occurrence of events such as the lowering of the safety and quality standards of the vehicle due to the drive of interests to artificially replace the original parts of the vehicle before the actual delivery of the vehicle for sale.

  "For this kind of contradiction, we can gradually improve relevant processes by improving technological means, developing online video inspections and other methods to replace on-site inspections. This can not only reduce the burden on car owners, but also achieve the purpose of preventing fraud. In recent years, the police The Ministry’s convenience measures for motor vehicle registration management have been significantly accelerated, and online vehicle inspection has been implemented. It is believed that with the improvement and improvement of related processes, the on-site inspection of newly settled motor vehicles will be cancelled, and the realization of online inspection of new vehicles will also be around the corner.” Beijing Zhongyin Lawyer Zhang Xiangli, director of the transportation affairs department of the firm, said.
