This deadline can cost motorists very high fines: we are even talking about almost 8,000 euros! Don’t forget it.
The life of a motorist is made up of deadlines and times to be respected in order to avoid having to deal with anything but pleasant fines. First of all, every year you have to pay the insurance, the road tax, and so on and so forth.
But there is another penalty that could fall on every motorist if you forget to do this thing to your car every two years. There is talk of fines that could come up to €8,000.
Not a small sum, indeed, it could be a nice starting nest egg to buy a completely new car: precisely for this reason no one would want to pay them for a fine. But in which cases are you subject to such a hefty fine?
Car inspection: fines of up to €8,000 for those who do not carry it out regularly
The car inspection is a very important appointment that anyone who owns a car absolutely cannot forget. First of all, very important values regarding emissions are checked.
So it’s okay health of our planet, because in some cases the car could release too high quantities of pollutants into the air. Furthermore, the person in charge of the overhaul also checks that there are no breakdowns, failures or malfunctions.
In this way accidents due to vehicle problems are avoided, safeguarding our safety and that of others. Finally, our wallet will also benefit, because the fines in the event of failure to review are very high.
How and when to review
The review must be done every two years, or after the first four in the case of new vehicles that have just been registered. If you don’t remember when you need to make the next revision, you can check it on the vehicle registration documenton which a sticker is applied to remind us of the deadline.
In case the time has come to have the car serviced, we should go to aspecialized workshop or at the motor vehicle bodywhere professionals will take care of verifying that the conditions of the machine are the same as those of the homologation.
Unfortunately, the costs have also increased with regard to the overhaul: you pay in the workshop €79.09while in motorisation €54.95.
Hefty fines if you forget the inspection
There is no speed camera or speed camera that automatically checks that the vehicle has been inspected. However, these speed monitors, when they detect an infringement within the limits, can also verify that the inspection has been carried out.
Also, in the event of an accident, the insurance company may ask us to refund any amount paid to the other party in the event that the vehicle had not been properly inspected at the time of the accident.
In most cases, however, they are Police to check that the inspection has been carried out on time, and if not, to proceed with the fine. In this case the fines go from 173 to 694 eurosbut doubled if we get caught a second time.
It may happen that the circulation of the vehicle is suspended. In this case, if you get caught driving a car again, the fine will start from 1998 euros up to 7993 euros.
