General Directorate of the Road Transport Service reported that during the first 7 months of the current year, there were presented 205,355 vehicles for testing on the technical control, of which 61,993 or 30.2% of the total number of vehicles did not pass.

The General Directorate of Road Transport Service said that vehicles that are dangerous to the lives of all road users can no longer pass the technical control test.

“1 in 3 vehicles do not pass the technical control test. The reasons for this situation are unfortunately also related to the bitter past of the service, when proper control was absent and it gave courage to irresponsibility. But, times have changed and such situations will never be tolerated again”, said the Directorate.

It also extended an appeal to the drivers to repair their vehicles within the legal deadlines and check the vehicle before every trip. /j.p/p.s./
