Poio Local Police Monitor Vehicle Inspections and Insurance

The random campaign aims to ensure road safety, check vehicle condition, and reduce accidents within the municipality.

Policía Local de Poio vixía a ITV e os seguros dos vehículos

Concello de Poio

The Poio Local Police will conduct a random surveillance campaign across all parishes in the coming weeks to ensure vehicles circulating in the municipality have their Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV) and mandatory insurance up to date.

The primary objective of this initiative is to guarantee road safety, verify that vehicles are in good condition, and consequently reduce accidents on the municipality's roads.
The ITV inspection ensures that essential components such as tires, lights, and brakes are in optimal condition. Meanwhile, mandatory insurance is crucial for covering any potential incidents.
Driving with an expired ITV can result in a fine of 200 euros, while doing so with a vehicle that failed inspection may lead to a 500 euro penalty. Furthermore, lacking mandatory insurance is a very serious offense with substantial financial sanctions and the potential impoundment of the vehicle.
Therefore, the Local Police advise citizens to check and ensure they have all necessary documentation and inspections in order to guarantee their own safety and that of other drivers.
