Where do traffic police usually check cars?

Traffic police usually check cars on the way they pass. Moreover, the traffic police can only check the car on the road when investigating illegal activities. When investigating and dealing with illegal acts, traffic police should show their law enforcement status. And strictly implement the safety protection regulations, pay attention to their own safety. You can patrol the road, you can also set up checkpoints at high-speed entrances and exits and toll stations, and you can check cars at traffic lights. As long as the motor vehicles driving on the road are suspected of violating the law, they can be inspected.

Traffic police can check cars on roads, urban roads, rural roads and other roads. However, on different roads, the way and purpose of traffic police checking cars are different. On the highway, the traffic police mainly check to ensure the safety and smoothness of road traffic, such as checking whether the vehicle is overloaded, speeding, using seat belts and so on. On urban roads and rural roads, traffic police pay more attention to whether vehicles meet the requirements, such as whether they have legal driving licenses, driver's licenses, annual inspection of vehicles and so on. It should be noted that the traffic police need to follow the relevant laws, regulations and procedures when checking cars, and can't do it at will. At the same time, in some special occasions, such as National Day, Spring Festival and other large festivals, traffic police will also strengthen road patrol and vehicle inspection to ensure road safety and order.

Traffic law enforcement randomly checks cars on the road, which is a typical road "three chaos" behavior:

1, only traffic police can go on the road to enforce the law at any time;

2, traffic inspection can only be fixed-point inspection, and the specific point must be approved by the provincial people's government;

3. In the joint law enforcement with the traffic police, the traffic department can have an "excuse" to enforce the law on the road, which is illegal in essence.

Legal basis:
