Did you know the beautiful "how to paste", "the place to paste", and "how to peel it off"?

A vehicle inspection sticker (inspection mark) is a seal that can be obtained by passing the vehicle inspection, indicating that the car has met the security standards.By sticking the vehicle inspection seal on the windshield, you can see at a glance that the car complies with security standards.

There are two types of vehicle inspection seals, for light vehicles and ordinary passenger cars, yellow for mini vehicles, and blue for ordinary passenger cars.

■ Inspection seal for light vehicles ■ Inspection seal for ordinary passenger cars

The design of the vehicle inspection seal for ordinary passenger cars has been changed from January 2017.Here are the differences between old and new designs.

■ Previous ordinary car inspection seal design 2004 -December 2016

The image is a monochrome image for ordinary passenger cars before 2017, a car inspection mark.The above image is the design of the vehicle inspection seal for ordinary passenger cars that have been used since 2004.

From this time, it has been changed to a method that is printed using MOTAS (automobile registration inspection business electronic information processing system), and the vehicle inspection seal for automotive windshield has become the same size as a motor sticker for motorcycles.

As a result, there was an opinion that the character part was 3cm x 3cm, and the transparent frame was 1cm x 1cm, so the visibility was poor because the character part was small.

■ New design of ordinary passenger car inspection seal January 2017 -The above image is a new design inspection sticker from January 2017.

The size is 4cm x 4cm as in the 2004 design, but the transparent frame has disappeared, and the visibility has been improved by listing the characters as much as possible.

In addition, the year of the validity period is displayed in the upper right of 2018, the lower right in 2019, and the 2019 are clockwise and the upper left, so the validity period is easier to understand even from a distance.

The place to paste is as follows.

1: The car with a back mirror (room mirror) is the top of the front glass in front (Figure above)

2: Other cars are the top front glass far from driver seats (Figure B)

3: If the upper part of the front glass is colored and cannot be confirmed from the outside, shift it down to the position where you can check (above C).

■ Paste when there is no driver's seat or windshield, such as a trailer, is a license plate

There is no driver's cab or windshield in the trailer for towing.In that case, paste the vehicle inspection seal on the upper left of the license plate attached to the back of the vehicle.

When peeling off the old vehicle inspection sticker, we will introduce a method of removing the sticky glue on the windshield and removing it beautifully.

First, prepare three tools in the house.

■ What happens if you don't put a vehicle inspection seal?

You may be wondering, "What will happen if you don't put a vehicle inspection seal?"Is there a fine, penalties, or scoring points by not putting a vehicle inspection seal?

Article 66 of the Road Transport Vehicle Law states that "a car inspection card must be provided inside the vehicle and inspection marks must be displayed."

If the vehicle inspection sticker has not been put in violation of this rule, there is a penalty and a fine of 500,000 yen or less.(Road Transport Vehicle Law Article 109, Paragraph 8)

By the way, since it is different from the Road Traffic Law, there is no administrative sanctions due to the indication of the inspection mark, and there is no point in the license number, and only fines for violating the Road Transport Vehicle Law are applied.

In this [Automotive Toba], we introduced from how to put the vehicle inspection sticker and how to peel it off, to a fine that is not attached.

Putting a vehicle inspection sticker on the windshield is a proof of a car that meets security standards.Please try to put it as soon as you get a vehicle inspection seal.
