Do I need a technical inspection in 2013?
The state services finally confused everyonemotorists. Few, who among us could fully understand whether a vehicle inspection is necessary or not. In what cases do you need to pass TO, and in which you do not? In general, there are a lot of questions about this, so we decided to collect them in one article, and at the same time and answer them.
Earlier the vehicle was examinedall once a year. But last summer everything changed a little. Let's find out what exactly has changed, and how this affected the owners of cars. According to official data, the law on the cancellation of TO tickets came into force on July 31, 2012. But speech in this law does not go about the abolition of the technical inspection itself. So do you need a checkup now? It still has to be passed, but not all. What specific categories are we talking about, we'll talk a little later. First, we'll find out the details that relate to the document itself. Henceforth, the document on the passage of the TO is called a diagnostic vehicle inspection card. But one should not worry about those who still have an old ticket. According to the same government, this document will operate until 2015.
All the above-mentioned was valid until January 12013. But the calendar is already spring 2013 in full swing, so the new law came into force. Do you need a technical inspection now? At the present time, it is no longer necessary to carry a document on passing the inspection, and there will be no place to take it. Now, instead of issuing a paper, the company from which you will pass the TO, will bring you to a special state base.
In addition to this innovation, there is one more. From now on, vehicle inspection is required only for cars that are older than three years. Technical inspection of the new car is not required at all. Of course, there are certain rules for cars whose age has already passed beyond the established limit. At present, the state has established the following procedure for passing the inspection: if the car is older than three years, but under seven, then its owner will need to come to the inspection station every two years. Those motorists who move by car older than seven years, require a vehicle inspection each year. This order, and all the new rules apply only to cars, as well as motorcycles and trailers with a mass of up to 3.5 tons.
