Can agents immobilize a vehicle if it is driven without having passed the Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV)?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible. Driving without a valid ITV (expired, unfavorable, or negative) is an infraction. In addition to the corresponding fine, traffic agents may proceed to immobilize the vehicle if they determine that its condition presents deficiencies that constitute a serious risk to road safety or if it is being driven after obtaining a 'negative' inspection result (which totally prohibits driving, even to a repair shop). Immobilization aims to remove vehicles from the road that do not meet the required minimum safety standards.
