Many motorists know that road safety depends not only on correct driving and knowledge of traffic rules, but also on the good technical condition of the car. It is to control the health of the vehicle that the State Automobile Inspectorate provides for a technical inspection.
First, you need to prepare your car for a technical inspection. For this:
- check the contents of the first-aid kit, all necessary medicines must be suitable for use;
- if there is no fire extinguisher in the car, or its expiration date has expired - buy a new one, with a volume of at least 2 liters;
- check the condition of the lights, horn, door locks, seat belts, power windows and glass washers;
- adjust the steering wheel play, the level of CH and CO, and also replace or paint all rusty parts, if any;
- Thoroughly wash the car - inside and outside, engine, wheels, as well as body and engine numbers.
Secondly, it is necessary to provide the following documents to the traffic police: passport or other document proving the driver's identity; driver's license with the right to drive this vehicle; a document granting the right to own a car or a power of attorney for the right to dispose of the vehicle; appropriate permissions for special signals - light or sound, holographic drawings or advertising (if any) applied. According to the innovations, insurance and a medical certificate are no longer included in the package of documents for passing MOT.
Thirdly, you need to pay for the inspection. Payments are made in branches of the Savings Bank or in the traffic police. Payment receipts are provided to the traffic police along with other documents. If you are the owner of a car that is inspected twice a year, be sure to provide a receipt for payment of vehicle tax for the previous year.
Fulfillment of all the requirements of preparation for a technical inspection will contribute to the fact that the car will pass the inspection without any problems, and, subject to the rules of the road, will ensure maximum safety on the road. If the technical condition of the car does not correspond to any one parameter, the operation of the vehicle will be prohibited.
