Passage of maintenance: step-by-step instruction

The passage of transport maintenance is an important process. It applies to all drivers. This procedure was invented specifically to protect citizens from accidents and other unpleasant events associated with vehicles. After all, a technical inspection is a kind of checking the car for compliance with the established quality standards. If the vehicle has no maintenance, it is not allowed to travel on roads. Therefore, drivers have to follow this procedure. But it has many features and nuances. Why prepare? What points should I pay attention to?

Terminology

The first step is to find out what the TO process is all about. This process, as already mentioned, is mandatory for all vehicles. This is a kind of quality control of the car.

A technical inspection is carried out to allow the vehicle to move along roads, and also to recognize its serviceability. If the citizen has passed this procedure, this indicates that the car is completely in good condition, it poses no significant danger, fully meets the quality standards established in Russia.

Avoid THAT is not worth it. In this case, vehicles are prohibited from traveling to roads. The owner of the car will have to suffer a punishment (most often the case is limited to a fine and warning / reprimand) for the lack of an obligatory procedure for inspecting the car. If you do not plan to operate the transport, the check can be postponed for a while.

New machines

How often is it necessary to pass a vehicle's TOE? Much depends on the year of production of the machine. The first category is new cars. You do not have to worry about a technical inspection for the first few years.

The thing is that the new transport does not need to be checked for a certain time. The owner is offered a whole 3 years of freedom in this regard. That is, while from the moment of release of the car has not passed 36 months, it is possible not to worry about THAT. But you still have to prepare for this process. After all, sooner or later this procedure will still be required. What is the frequency of maintenance for other transport categories?

Once every two years

Everything depends, again, on the year of production of the car. It is already clear - the new transport does not need inspections. How to be after the 3-year period has elapsed since the date of the car's release?

From that moment the owner must necessarily organize the passage of the TO. The exception is cases where transportation management is not planned in the near future. In such circumstances, it is permitted to carry out a technical inspection immediately before leaving for the roads of the settlement. The phenomenon is very rare, because often in Russia for him you can get a reprimand, and even a fine. To prove the fact of "idle time" of the vehicle is almost impossible.

How often is it necessary to pass the maintenance? The car, which was released over three years ago, is inspected every two years. And a similar procedure will wait for the owners of vehicles until the car turns 7 years old. What's next? On this score, there are special rules that are in effect in Russia to this day. What will be the frequency of maintenance for other categories of vehicles?

Annual audits

If it is a question of transport very old, it will be necessary to annually check it for compliance with the established in Russia standards of quality and serviceability. The thing is that once a year, it threatens all cars that have reached the age of 7 years. Old transport should be checked more often, this is normal.

This is not all that drivers need to know. Some categories of vehicles (not just personal cars) are also subject to annual inspection, but already regardless of the year of manufacture. To such machines carry:

• Cars, in which the maximum permissible mass exceeds 3.5 tons;
• Transport with spetssignalami;
• Any machine intended for driving instruction.

It is these features that foresee the passage of the TO in its periodicity. But the above rules are often applied to cars. What if I need to check the quality of other machines?

Twice a year

In Russia, there are special rules for passing a technical inspection, depending on the category of a particular vehicle. In addition to the previously listed situations, we can single out one more point. The point is that the frequency of maintenance for other categories of transport "machines" can be 2 times a year. In what cases is this possible? If:

• This is a bus;
• It is a taxi (represented by a car);
• Check is carried out for trucks, which provides for the possibility of transporting more than 8 passengers (without the driver's seat);
• The subject of verification are special vehicles and trucks equipped for the transport of dangerous goods and substances.

Perhaps, these are all the features that include the frequency of passing technical inspections of cars of various categories. Now you need to know the other features that drivers are waiting for.

What is checked

How is the passage of the TO? This information for drivers is very useful. It is important to know what exactly is being checked in the car. Then it will be possible to prepare for the process in advance. Accordingly, obtaining permission to ride on the roads of the village will not present any danger to the owner. During the inspection of the car will be checked:

• Brake system;
• Steering;
• Windshield wipers and washers;
• Tires and wheels (up to check the height of the tread pattern);
• External lighting devices;
• Engine (including the study of the concentration of harmful substances in the produced gas);
• Other components (glasses, safety belts, mirrors and so on).

The owner of the vehicle will also require a special driver's first aid kit, emergency stop signs, and a fire extinguisher. All this must be mandatory, otherwise you can stay with the technical inspection that has not been passed. Pay attention to the expiration date of the fire extinguisher and the first aid kit - it should not be expired. If the time is approaching, after which it is impossible to use previously listed components, the driver will certainly be warned about this.

Tips for preparing

What do you need to pass TO? There are several tips that will help you to cope with this procedure without unnecessary problems. It has already been said that it is necessary to prepare a first aid kit, an emergency stop sign, and a fire extinguisher. If the expiration dates expire, it is recommended to immediately replace the listed components. Additional insurance.

You do not need to collect a first aid kit. It is ready-made in the shops of automotive equipment and accessories. There you can buy a small fire extinguisher.

Before going to the place of technical inspection, the car will have to be washed. If this is not done, some problems may arise during the procedure. Inspection can either stop or make a decision that the vehicle does not meet the existing quality and safety standards.

Documents for inspection

The first steps on the way to success are made - the transport is washed, manned with everything necessary. What's next? The next stage is the preparation of all the necessary documents for the verification. What do you need to pass TO? Among the papers that the driver should take with him for inspection, there are:

• Identity card of a citizen (civil passport);
• Vehicle PTS;
• Certificate of registration of the vehicle.

No more documents from the driver are required. Already, during the inspection, a special diagnostic card is generated and issued. It will indicate the result of the inspection.

If the vehicle was delivered to the site by a non-owner, the power of attorney will additionally be shown. Otherwise, the inspection will not be carried out. Only the owner or the person authorized in the established order have the right to drive the vehicle, as well as to pass the maintenance.

Sending for review

The next stage is sending vehicles to the checkpoint. Previously, this procedure was carried out only at the place of registration of the car. To do this, the owner had to deliver the car to a certain point of vehicle inspection. But the main changes in the rules of passing the TO allowed the citizens to carry out the idea wherever it suits them.

Now you can visit absolutely any accredited center / diagnostic check point. It does not matter in which city and at what address the procedure will be conducted. The owner of the transport simply must deliver the car to a specialized company. You can also use the traffic police units.

As soon as the vehicle is delivered to the inspection site, all previously listed documents will be required. Next, the driver just waiting for the results. The workers of the diagnostic center inspect the components of the transport, after which all the indicators are recorded in the diagnostic card.

Once the procedure is completed, the owner is issued a vehicle diagnostic map. This completes the whole procedure. You can continue to travel on the road. If it turns out that the car can not be allowed to travel around the city, the driver eliminates all the problems and again passes through the procedure of technical inspection of the machine.

Do I have to pay

It is these rules for the maintenance of the TOE that currently operate in Russia. Nobody has the right to evade this process. Before you go to the centers of car inspections, you should find out one more thing. It's about the cost of the procedure.

Some tend to believe that this process is worthless. This is not true. In fact, the cost of technical inspection depends on the region of residence, as well as on the category to which this or that vehicle belongs. The cheapest inspection of motorcycles is about 200-300 rubles. But the buses will require owners to pay cash in the amount of about 1500-2000, passenger transport on average requires 700-800 rubles. More precise information is recommended to be learned at specific car inspection centers in various regions.

MTPL and TOE

What else should I pay attention to? The thing is that the passage of the TO is an obligatory procedure necessary to ensure auto insurance under the OSAGO system. Recent changes indicate that the citizen is obliged to inspect the car within 10 days after the end of the previous diagnostic map. Further, OSAGO is already acquired. These are not all the features that the owner must take into account.

In connection with the changes in the rules of acquiring insurance for the car, it can be noted that the availability of a diagnostic card when buying MTPL is not necessary. That is, in itself, the first document should be. But there is no need to present it. After all, all information from the diagnostic map of the vehicle is transferred to a single car data register. If at the time of acquisition of OSAGO from the driver a transport diagnosis card is requested, it is possible to refer to a violation of statutory rules.

Penalty for delay

In general, in connection with the latest changes, for most drivers, an administrative penalty for the management of transport without THAT is abolished. The owner can be reprimanded. And nothing more.

But the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation states that some categories of transport (or rather, those that are subject to verification for suitability 2 times a year) will incur a fine on the owner in the absence of technical inspection. The amount of recovered money is not too large - only 500-800 rubles. This norm is specified in Article 12.1, paragraph 2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

It turns out that you can do without any punishment. But this does not mean that it is not necessary to pass a technical inspection. Buy insurance without it is very problematic. Also, the driver will be constantly stopped by traffic police officers. They will not impose a fine, but they can threaten with deprivation of a driver's license or with the withdrawal of a vehicle. If it turns out that a technical inspection did not pass through a working car, the enterprise will be reprimanded, fined, and will also check the remaining cars. At this time, can suspend the work of the corporation. Especially if it's a transport company involved in the transportation of passengers.

That's all. Now it is clear what the TO is. The procedures for conducting an examination are not as terrible as they seem. No problem will arise for those who are watching their car. The rest will have to prepare in advance for verification.
