In what circumstances must you conduct an additional technical check-up of a four-wheeled motor vehicle having a curb weight of 500 kg?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. If so directed by a traffic control authority.
Explanation
In the photo there is a quadricycle with a windscreen and two top boxes. You must have an additional technical inspection of such a vehicle carried out when a road traffic control authority directs you to do it - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act states that, regardless of periodic inspections, an additional technical inspection is required for a vehicle directed to it by a road traffic control authority, for example by a police officer, when there is a justified suspicion that the vehicle endangers road safety or breaks environmental protection requirements, or when it was involved in an accident in which its load-bearing parts were damaged. A change of owner (answer A) does not require an additional inspection - the new owner only re-registers the vehicle. The expiry of the third-party liability insurance (OC) contract (answer C) also has nothing to do with the technical condition; it means you must take out a new contract. A quadricycle with an unladen mass of 500 kg is a motor vehicle, so it is subject to technical inspections like every motor vehicle - including additional ones.
