General information
General overview
Results of a vehicle roadworthiness test are given in a roadworthiness test results card. If a roadworthiness test finds that a vehicle is defective, "The vehicle does not meet the technical requirements" is noted on the results, along with the line "Test must be repeated before " and the date by which the vehicle must be tested again. If a roadworthiness test finds that a vehicle has dangerous defects and cannot be operated, "The vehicle does not meet the technical requirements" is noted on the results, and in the "Notes" line, "It is prohibited to use the vehicle ".
