Traffic safety: Rules for the safety of people and cargo, and their identifiers
Explanation
When a **vehicle undergoes a significant modification**, it is necessary for it to undergo a **technical inspection**. This is because any significant modification to the vehicle can affect its safety and operation. The technical inspection is carried out to ensure that the vehicle remains safe to drive after the modification.
- The **vehicle technical inspection (ITV)** is a mandatory process that verifies the condition of the vehicle.
- In addition to the periodic inspections based on the type of vehicle and its age, it is mandatory to carry out an additional inspection if the vehicle has been modified or has suffered an accident that affects its structure.
Therefore, whenever a vehicle is significantly modified, it must undergo a new inspection to ensure that it meets the necessary safety standards for driving.
