Where are a vehicle’s periodic technical inspections carried out?
Traffic safety: Rules for the safety of people and cargo, and their identifiers
Explanation
The **periodic technical inspections** of a vehicle are carried out at **I.T.V. stations** (Vehicle Technical Inspection). These inspections are essential to ensure that the vehicle is in safe condition to circulate.
- **I.T.V. stations**: These are the authorized places where these inspections are conducted. The ITV technicians check the vehicle and, if it is in good condition, record the result on the technical inspection card, provide a sticker, and a report that you must always carry in the vehicle.
- **Inspection sticker**: This sticker indicates that the vehicle has passed the inspection and is in suitable condition to circulate. It is placed on the right side of the windshield of motor vehicles, as shown in the image below:
- **Frequency of inspections**: The frequency with which you must pass the inspection depends on the type of vehicle, its age, and its use. For example, two-wheeled mopeds must undergo their first inspection at 3 years and then every 2 years.
Therefore, periodic technical inspections are not carried out in mechanical workshops nor by the driver, but exclusively at I.T.V. stations.
