Another diary of my colleague: Annual Inspection Expired?
|
The Djiboutians are generally amicable to our Chinese living in Djibouti.
They often greet us warmly “Ni Hao”, when we were walking in street or shopping mall.
However, this is not always the case.
One day, policemen stopped our car while we were passing a crossroad. Our car was driving by our local driver, and I was sure that the driver did not run through the red light, so I thought we would be released rapidly.
After checking the vehicle documents, a policeman told us seriously that the annual inspection of our car was expired.
Through a simple negotiation, we gave him 5000 Djibouti Franc cash and we were released soon with no receipt at all.
Once returning, we planned to proceed immediately to the vehicle’s annual inspection. Finally our vehicle was not inspected either, because the vehicle inspection office found that the annual inspection would be expired in August 2019. No vehicle could be inspected before its expiry date.
