Is this a German thing or an EU thing?
Because in Spain you have to pass the ITV every to years until the car has 10 years and then, every year.
And almost any modification has to pass that inspection
- DasIch 10y agoThe German regulation has existed for a long time, I doubt that's due to the EU. However you want to be able to sell and drive a everywhere in the EU. It only makes sense to deal with this on a EU level to harmonize existing regulation and force members lacking such regulations to implement it. If that hasn't happened already (which I find hard to believe), it will.
