The authorities did not expect such a reaction. What do drivers say about the cancellation of inspection?

On December 30, 2021, mandatory technical inspection for individuals was cancelled. At the same time, taxis, public and freight transport will undergo maintenance in the same way as before. This innovation was a pleasant surprise for many motorists, but everything is not as clear as it seems at first glance.


Obtaining a diagnostic card is mandatory when purchasing a car or motorcycle older than 4 years, as well as when making changes to the design. The responsibility for monitoring the technical condition is assigned to the driver. The absence of a diagnostic card is not grounds for imposing a fine.

It would seem that everything was simplified, people got rid of unnecessary headaches. But the point that the traffic police inspector can conduct an instrumental check of the condition of the vehicle if there are visual signs of a malfunction raises questions. In fact, a police officer may find fault with a burned out light bulb or not pay attention to a dragging muffler - it all depends on his mood.

Let's see what drivers think about this:

I am sure that any inspector can carry out an instrumental check with a diagnostic card. Who is stopping me from being tightly toned after passing MOT?

Andrey Semyonov speaks

Now there will be refusals to pay out OSAGO insurance because of a burnt out light bulb, for example. Or other formal reasons.

- MITAS user suggests

I do not understand the logic of the domestic authorities. So long and dreary reformed the scope of technical inspection. They forced the owners of the stations to purchase new equipment, introduced photo and video recording. And then, shortly before the elections, everything was simply canceled. Why were they wasting time, fooling people?
All this suggests that the state simply does not have a strategy to improve the traffic situation, reduce the number of accidents and restore order in this area. As there was a mess, and remained.

- Albert 80 is indignant

Tell me, how did the purchased diagnostic cards affect the safety of vehicles? In our realities, the presence of a technical inspection and the serviceability of a car are two different things.

— the user Alex does not agree with him

The abolition of mandatory MOT means that deputies in the State Duma, various parliamentary commissions have been doing useless work for many years. Large sums from the budget were spent on this, people invested their time, tried to somehow improve the situation. And they could do something that would bring at least some benefit.
I myself am for technical inspection, but honest and equal, so that everyone drives the car and leaves for half an hour, as in Germany or the UK. And he received orders to fix it, and did not go 5 times.

- summed up Ivan Nikolaevich.
