Question 1226 — road safety

Summary

Mrs. Lise Magnier draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister for the ecological and inclusive transition, responsible for transport, to the implementation of the new technical inspection of vehicles from May 2018. In application of a European directive, the technical inspection will increase from May 2018 from 124 checkpoints to 400. In the event of a serious defect noted, the owner of the vehicle will have 24 hours to carry out repairs and a second inspection before immobilizing the vehicle concerned. If it is indeed incontestable that the 146 defects deemed intolerable are likely to cause immediate danger, the 24-hour period granted to the owner to make the repairs and carry out the second inspection is aberrant. Indeed, in such a short period of time, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to find a mechanic who can carry out repairs in such a short time and bring in competition to reduce costs, even though the price of technical inspection will increase due to its tightening. Once again, it is the most modest who will be affected by this measure, after the Crit'air sticker, since it is the most modest who have aging vehicles requiring regular technical checks. Furthermore, in rural areas, the 24-hour delay simply risks preventing people from traveling, particularly to go to work. Also, she asks him to gradually implement the new technical control, by gradually increasing the number of control points, in order to allow everyone a better adaptation to this new provision, recalling that France is, for the moment, one of the only countries in the Union European Union to introduce it so quickly.
