There is a traffic jam at the moment for revisions or technical inspections of vehicles. The appointment books are already almost complete, especially since they are now more picky and more expensive. Report in Bruges, Gironde.
In front of a garage in Bruges (Gironde)many cars are awaiting revision. The schedule is jam-packed. A usual situation due to the approach of major vacation departures. Maintenance, emptying, air conditioning… The complete overhaul costs a hundred eurosnot to mention some rarer and more expensive pieces that drive up the bill. “I use my personal car as little as possible. It costs way too much“, said a motorist.
To have the right to drive, you have to pass the technical control. 145 checkpoints inspected, compared to 52 thirty years ago. A motorist saw his vehicle stalled. “I paid almost 85 euros for the technical control and there, I have to pay 30 euros again for the counter-visit“, testifies Samia Didounimotorist. In France, the average price of the technical control is 78 euros. It must be taken every year. This breach exposes you to a fine of 135 euros.
