Do I need a technical inspection in 2013?

Public services finally confused all motorists. Few, of us to the end was able to figure out whether a checkup is needed or not. In what cases do you need to pass TO, and in what do not? In general, there are a lot of questions on this matter, so we decided to collect them in one article, and at the same time and answer them.

Previously, the vehicle was inspected once a year. But last summer everything changed a little. Let's find out what exactly has changed, and how this affected the owners of cars. According to official data, the law on the cancellation of TO tickets came into force on July 31, 2012. But speech in this law does not go about the abolition of the technical inspection itself. So do you need a technical inspection now? All the same it is necessary to pass it, but not all. What specific categories are we talking about, we'll talk a little later. First, we'll find out the details that relate to the document itself. Henceforth, the document on the passage of TO is called a diagnostic checkup card. But you should not worry about those who still have an old ticket. According to the same government, this document will operate until 2015.

All of the above was valid until January 1, 2013. But the calendar is already spring 2013 in full swing, so the new law came into force. Do I need a checkup now? At the present time, it is no longer necessary to carry a document on passing the inspection, and there will be no place to take it. Now, instead of issuing the paper, the company from which you will take the TO, will bring you to a special state base.

In addition to this innovation, there is one more. From now on, vehicle inspection is required only for cars that are older than three years. Technical inspection of the new car is not required at all. Of course, there are certain rules for cars whose age has already passed beyond the established limit. At present, the state has established the following procedure for passing the inspection: if the car is older than three years, but under seven, then its owner will need to come to the inspection station every two years. Those motorists who move by car older than seven years, require a vehicle inspection each year. This order, and all the new rules apply only to cars, as well as motorcycles and trailers with a mass of up to 3.5 tons.

We tried to answer the most popular questions. Now let's summarize all of the above. Let's start with the main question. Do I need a checkup? A car under the age of three is not required. All that is older is required. Now about the document itself. Henceforth, this is not a TOO ticket, but a diagnostic TO card. All innovations relate only to cars, motorcycles and trailers. As you can see, if we put everything in order, then there are no problems with understanding the new laws concerning the technical inspection. Now you, dear motorists, it remains only to follow the amendments to them, and, of course, execute them implicitly. Remember that the government did this only to make your life easier. So that you do not stand in endless queues, knowing in advance that the car will be able to drive without problems for more than a year, because it is new.
