According to the regulations of the Transport Department, when driving across the border, the driver and the vehicle must apply for a Mainland driving license, a "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Motor Vehicle Travel and Driver Approval Notice" (commonly known as the "approval document") issued by the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau for the vehicle and the driver, and The "Closed Road Permit" issued by the Transport Department for the vehicle, and other relevant procedures in the Mainland, plus the completion of the purchase of insurance and vehicle inspection procedures, can only go north.

Li Peiyao, president of the Hong Kong Society of Automobile Manufacturers, pointed out that there are currently about 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles with Chinese and Hong Kong brands in Hong Kong, which need to be inspected once a year in Hong Kong and the Mainland respectively. First of all, arrange inspections for buses, taxis and other commercial vehicles. Last week, China opened up the appointment of private cars for inspections. He drove two teams and three teams to test private cars."

However, there is only one vehicle inspection center in Hong Kong that provides cross-border vehicle inspection services. If tens of thousands of vehicles with Chinese and Hong Kong license plates need to be inspected, Li Peiyao believes that "it will not be able to digest it for more than half a year." Why don’t you go on a self-driving tour? You won’t be able to make it to the canal.”

He pointed out that CCIC also provides car inspection services in Macau, but the Macau Transport Department has cooperated with CCIC to meet the needs of cross-border vehicle inspections and authorized some government-appointed vehicle testing centers (Car Testing Center) , providing cross-border vehicle inspection services.

Li Peiyao said that the vehicle inspection specifications of these vehicle testing centers meet the government's vehicle inspection standards. If CCIC mainly authorizes dozens of vehicle testing centers, it can speed up the inspection of a large number of cross-border vehicles. Good implementation.

Some councilors suggested moving the entire vehicle inspection process to the mainland, but Li Peiyao thought it was "impractical" and there was no need to "take far away and not close", "Because when you drive a car without a left-hand license plate, how can you drive to the mainland? "
