Question 18176 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Arnaud Viala alerts the Minister of the Interior to the regulations regarding technical inspections for vehicles designed for disabled people. The regulations regarding technical inspections of vehicles have tightened considerably, particularly with regard to the first stage of these checks, namely, the identification of the vehicle itself. Any difference, even minimal, between the designation mentioned on the registration document, and the vehicle itself, immediately leads to an obligation to undergo a counter inspection, and failure to be able to remedy the problem observed, destruction of the vehicle. Disabled people in wheelchairs own vehicles designed for manual driving, either upon purchase or after the fact. Some bought new vehicles from a dealership a few years ago, which were subsequently modified in approved garages. The regulations at the time did not require this modification to be mentioned on the registration document, and previous technical inspections never posed a problem. These vehicles will soon no longer have the right to circulate, due to lack of a valid technical inspection, not because of their condition or their dangerousness, but only because the registration document does not mention the modification carried out many years ago. years. Two solutions then: dismantle the arrangement (almost impossible, due to welded parts) or have the registration certificate modified by contacting the DREAL (long process which is unlikely to succeed given the age of certain vehicles). The finances of these people no longer allow them to replace these cars, which are also not eligible for the conversion bonus. They cannot be resold either. always lacking a valid technical inspection. The only way out: breakage. He asks what concrete measures the Government intends to take to help these people keep their vehicle or replace it if necessary at a lower cost.
