Motorcyclists must be present during the examination
For those who like to modify their vehicle, be aware that technical inspection could well be a problem. Indeed, we now know that you absolutely must have kept the original parts of your motorcycleunder penalty of having to go through a counter-inspection.
However, this is not the only rule of this new exam. Please note that you will also need to remain available throughout the exam, because the mechanics may ask you to come and work on your vehicle. “ Customers may eventually be required to handle their machine themselves. », Reports UFC-Que-Choisir. “ The requested customer will have to take a path marked on the ground and wait in a duly marked area: entering the reserved area is theoretically not authorized, especially since almost all centers will continue to carry out a parallel car inspection activity “.
You read correctly, so you may have to work on your vehicle yourself at the express request of the inspector. As a reminder, if you decide to exempt yourself from this technical inspection, you risk a fine of 135 euros in the event of an inspection by the police. The technical inspection examination should cost you between 60 and 80 euros.
