After years of delays, controversy, and discussions, last November the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport established the guidelines for the technical inspections that rubber-tyred tractors with speeds exceeding 40 kilometers per hour would have to undergo during the inspection phase.
Are the inspections ready to go? No, on the contrary, everyone’s on hold. Time out.
The main industry organizations have requested this, as they lack the personnel, facilities, and equipment to carry out the inspections. Furthermore, many Motor Vehicle Department offices are not accepting reservations, having not identified centers capable of carrying them out.
Hence two requests: a transitional procedure that allows companies to use machines and tractors while awaiting inspections after booking them, and to avoid sanctions against users who, despite having fulfilled the formal obligations, are unable to undergo the inspection for reasons beyond their control. It’s legitimate to suspect that no one wants to carry out the inspections, faced with yet another Italian-style farce.
