DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes. Having passed the periodic roadworthiness test (ITV) with a favorable result does not prevent traffic officers from subjecting the 5,500 kg truck to a technical roadside inspection: it is a check separate from the ITV, and it does not depend on whether the ITV is about to expire. There is no minimum period of three months since the last inspection that prevents it. And having an ITV in force and favorable does not exempt the truck from that check on public roads.
