If a truck with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg has successfully passed its last periodic roadworthiness test (ITV), may traffic officers subject it to a roadside technical inspection?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes. Having passed the periodic roadworthiness test (ITV) with a favorable result does not prevent traffic officers from subjecting the truck to a roadside technical inspection: it is a check distinct from the ITV, and it does not depend on whether the ITV is about to expire. There is no minimum period or six-month grace period since the last inspection that prevents it. And having a valid and favorable ITV does not exempt the truck from that check until its expiry.
