The technical control for the resale of motorcycles is postponed
The technical inspection project on motorcycles and scooters planned for their resale would ultimately be postponed for lack of profitability for the inspection bodies. This obligation, much contested by bikers and scooter riders, was to come into force in October 2017. Explanations.
According to the information collected by MNC, the obligation to submit his motorcycle and scooter to a technical control during its resale will not come into force in the second quarter of 2017, as it was. This postponement would be driven by the reluctance of technical control professionals like Dekra, worried about the profitability of this project who see it as a new unnecessary tax..
Obviously, the economic projections of the control brands show too much investment in their centers with regard to the potential benefits, especially in regions where the share of two- and three-wheeler users is low. Not to mention the cost of training controllers in the specifics of two and three-wheelers … This is the second abandonment of a motorcycle technical control project in France, already – temporarily – .
No triumphalism, however: let us remember that the imposes technical inspections on two-wheelers on all Member States by 2022, with the exception of countries that have implemented road safety actions that significantly reduce motorcycle accidents. However, we are very, very far away in France, one of the countries in Europe where road fatalities, all categories combined, are on the contrary on the rise.
