Issuing tickets for vehicles that have not been inspected

[triniboy13b]

The Licensing Office in conjunction with the Police Service and Traffic Wardens are issuing tickets for vehicles that have not been inspected. The fine for non-inspection or expired inspection stickers is $5,000.00.

The safety inspection fee is TT$165.00 for a vehicle tested at an authorised inspection station and TT$300.00 for vehicles tested at a Transport Division office.

Those of us driving T vehicles MUST have them be inspected on a yearly basis from the date of purchase, and this could ONLY be done at the Port of Spain, San Fernando and Tobago branches of the Licensing Office. Owners of private cars can have their inspection done at authorised inspection stations across the country.

Owners of new passenger cars for private use - sticker valid for five years.

Passenger cars for private use over five years old - sticker valid for two years.

You must take your vehicle in to be inspected before your sticker expires. It is illegal to drive a vehicle without a valid inspection sticker. The original certified copy and a current certificate of insurance must be presented at the time of inspection.

Vehicles must in proper working order (lights, wipers, horn, tyres), and should be washed, including engine and underneath.

A list of approved testing stations across the country is seen below, as taken from the Ministry of Works Website. Please note that some stations may not be in service, so please call first.

What about new cars? How long you have before inspection.

[MG Man]

5 years

[d spike]

There was a loophole that made it possible for un-inspected cars to flaunt their unstickered windscreens... Has this been dealt with? If so, how come there hasn't been any official notice made, warning happy delinquents to get with the programme?

[X2]

Anyone have a copy of the handbook that tells you what the law is ?

I'm concerned because none of my cars have stickers on the windscreen. all have been to licensing without issue and no one has ever told me about getting one. Even when I've registered a new car...

[black start]

i can see ah imminient 10k payday for the gov't

[topman]

What is the situation where you have a valid inspection certificate from licensing office but no sticker because none was available at the time of inspection?

[wagonrunner]

What is the situation where you have a valid inspection certificate from licensing office but no sticker because none was available at the time of inspection?

you can produce the "certificate" in lieu of the sticker.

[Sanctifier]

What do you do if your old sticker has already expired?

Also what about cars that are off the road for a couple years?

[Rory Phoulorie]

What do you do if your old sticker has already expired?

I would guess that you should get your car re-inspected as soon as possible.

Also what about cars that are off the road for a couple years?

When it's roadworthy again, one of the first things would be to find yourself by an authorised inspection station.

[nareshseep]

Ok ah geh d inspection but no sticker... will that be an issue? Inspection station said they didnot have any and neither for licensing office, Does anyone know when the stickers will be available?

[katastrophic]

what about if ur inspection is expired an u changed the engine after it expired... what would u have to do first?? is it possible to do engine change in licensing office on a car that is not up to date on inspection?
