List of vehicle inspection stations in Trinidad & Tobago

[computercentral]

Caroni have 3 lines with about 100 vehicles in each at the moment

[airuma]

Sando had about 150 vehicles about 8:00am. Most of them were taxi's and commercial vehicles. Why don't they do this by appointment and give a paper with the date to the driver as evidence that they have started the process?

Real money making under the table still then

Wrightson line is actually for a private garage just before the lic office though,
The license office there stopped doing inspections due to earthquake damage to pit

It use to be so for part of last year and then they switched to first come.

Had a job on penal side today, the inspection bays on that end hardly have people. I went in at 11 and was out 20 minutes later there were 3 of us in total waiting to be inspected. As usual no stickers so gotta go back Friday to collect but its better than the madness up in the east to get it done.

since they had mentioned that is meelions of t vehicles that only two sites have to handle, so they letting the light t go private, i was suggesting to them that they should let the light h have to same accommodation. they said that they were not reviewing that at that that time.

i would think it have just as much h as t... i tell u, these people, in com pee tent

So were the indicators too dim or not? That could be a safety issue and worthy of a failed inspection if valid.

The older ones like 280 and ting yeah they are too dim... Sad part is, it's oem.
Brightening it would be against oem...

License officer's dilemma.

Exactly what he said^

Are we confusing a 280C with a faded out hazed Taiwanese replacement taillight as opposed to a 280C with an actual OEM taillight? Because I have seen older cars with OEM taillights that are still quite visible in daylight.

My 21 year old Lancer still has the OEM taillights with filament type bulbs that function quite well with respect to brightness.

Are the OEM ones readily available and/or affordable?

An easier way to deal with the crowds at inspection centers is to move from first come first serve to a proper appointment system based on a daily maximum. Authorities should agree that even if your appointment is 2 months away once you have proof of a confirmed appointment there will be no charge. It will calm all this noise and drama with crowds while still effectively tackling the need to get vehicles road worthy.

Some garages already have an appointment system but the authorities need to be on board to sanction the waiver on charges for confirmed appointments.

Another thing is that when you get a proof of appointment it should come with the inspection checklist of what is required to pass inspection so drivers know in advance exactly what is needed rather than trying to inspect and then failing and having to come back.

So the inspectors must compromise on safety? Is that what you are saying? If not, what exactly are you saying?

Where I work, we have equipment that we have to ensure is maintained to a certain standard to be able to enter and work in industrial plants. Sometimes, we cannot get OEM replacement parts for the equipment and we have to engineer an alternative, which in some cases, does not last as long as the OEM. All we do is just adjust the maintenance schedule for the item of equipment to compensate for the shorter lifespan of the part to ensure that we still are able to meet our own HS&E standards and the HS&E standards of the client.

Same thing here. You can't get an OEM replacement taillight? Then you may have to end up buying an aftermarket taillight that may not last as long, but which you will have to replace on a more frequent basis to ensure that the performance of the taillight from a safety standpoint is maintained.

i had went vemcott as they got permission to do inspection, to enquire what needed to be checked and for what, so i could sort out things in adavcned if necessary. the woman didnt really go into details, just basically underwash and engine wash, check for leaks tires, lights.
thing is my van does be in the bush a lot, bumper different, bangs all over, all kinda ting. so it would have been helpful to know exactly what can be accepted and what not, to know what to do and what not to do.

but, will use the inspection sheet now to serve as the pattern to follow.


insurance and drivng tests usually put u on an appointment, that shoudl be extened to inspection. with the same option to alter date prior.
