Scooters, motorcycles or motorized quadricycles, from Monday April 15, each of these vehicles will in turn be subject to mandatory technical inspection. In practice, the reform has no consequences on compensation in the event of a lack of up-to-date control. “For this to have an impact on the compensation paid in the event of a claim, the insurer would have to be able to prove that it was because your vehicle was poorly maintained that caused the accident.“, explains Olivier Moustacakis, co-founder of Assurland.

Fine of 135 euros

However, compensation could be reduced or even refused in certain specific cases. Stéphanie Durafourd, spokesperson for Assurland, advises “look in the general conditions“of his contract, “whether it’s a warranty clause or not”. In the absence of an up-to-date technical inspection, each driver risks a fine of 135 euros and the immobilization of their vehicle.cule.
