BDifficulty 2/5

A vehicle has not passed its ITV roadworthiness inspection and has defects posing a particularly serious road-safety risk. May traffic officers immobilise it?

Correct answer

Yes, because of the particularly dangerous defects stated.

Yes. Article 104 permits immobilisation for defects posing a particularly serious risk. There is no general five-month waiting period. Distinguish expired, failed and negative ITV results: a negative inspection for very serious defects bars road use and requires transport by external means. Not every expired ITV automatically produces the same measure or penalty; this question concerns especially dangerous defects.
