Incoming fines for motorists who have an accessory prohibited by law in their car.
In case of controls by the police you risk getting a fine of €2000.
Checkpoints scare us, when we see police, carabinieri, road traffic agents from afar, we pay attention to every detail, we check that the cell phone is away from the driver’s seat,that the seat belt is fastened correctly.
If possible, we change course, while if we think we have a clear conscience, we continue and courageously face the check in the hope of a positive outcome.
Fines for a ‘trivial’ detail what articles 61 and 62 of the Highway Code say
However, it can happen that you do not pay attention to a detail, it is something that can cause a fairly high fine, it is something that may seem trivial at first glance, but it is by no means a trifle.
At the checkpoint, the police check the booklet, the driving licence, they can even scan the car internally and externally. The trunk is generally checked in every part, as well as the headlights and lights of the vehicle which must always be functional.
What is the detail that makes the difference. What to be afraid of in case of checks
A detail that attracts the attention of law enforcement agencies can be an LED mounted under the car without permission. In this case it goes against articles 71 and 72 of the highway codeto which govern the equipment and features present on the vehicle.
Indicators and lights should not be modified, they should remain as they come straight from the factory. Any modifications to the bodywork must be submitted to control of the motorization and then accepted or prohibited.
In detail of the LEDs, if these are not approved by the DMV but still mounted on the vehicle, they involve fines ranging from €419 to €1682. Whoever makes a mistake runs the risk of having the registration certificate withdrawn, even if the LEDs should be off and not in use.
Here because if you don’t want to have problems of any kind, you must first of all ask for permission from the motorisation and then possibly proceed with the changes you want to apply to make the car more beautiful and more elegant.
There are some people who don’t know the rule, others who pretend not to know it hoping to be able to do what you want and always escape it. However, we must bear in mind that in the event of checks, what you risk is not a simple lecture but much more.
