Traffic safety: Rules for the safety of people and cargo, and their identifiers
Explanation
To determine the date of the first vehicle technical inspection (ITV), it is important to consider the **date of first registration** of the vehicle. This date is crucial because it marks the beginning of the period from which the deadlines for technical inspections are calculated.
- The vehicle's **technical inspection card** contains a record of the inspections carried out and the characteristics of the vehicle. This card is essential for keeping track of the inspections and ensuring that the vehicle complies with safety regulations.
- The **first registration** is the moment when the vehicle is officially registered to circulate on public roads. From this date, it is determined when the first technical inspection should be carried out, which varies according to the type of vehicle.
- For example, **motor vehicles that can carry up to nine passengers** must undergo their first inspection 4 years from the date of registration. Other types of vehicles have different deadlines for their first inspection, but all are calculated from the date of registration.
Therefore, the date of first registration is the starting point to know when the first ITV should be carried out, thus ensuring that the vehicle remains in safe conditions for circulation.
