What happens if a vehicle’s ITV card is not up to date?
Traffic safety: Rules for the safety of people and cargo, and their identifiers
Explanation
The **technical inspection card (ITV)** is an essential document that certifies that a vehicle is in suitable condition to circulate. If this card is not up to date, meaning the technical inspection has not been passed by the indicated date, the vehicle is not legally authorized to circulate.
- **Consequences of not having the ITV up to date**: The Traffic Department can impose penalties on the driver. This is because the technical inspection card must be current to ensure that the vehicle meets safety and emissions standards.
- **Inspection process**: When a vehicle passes the inspection, the card is updated with the date of the next review, and a sticker is provided that must be placed on the windshield. Additionally, a report is provided that must always be carried in the vehicle.
Therefore, it is crucial to keep the ITV card up to date to avoid penalties and ensure that the vehicle is safe to circulate.
