The whole thing is a big money making scheme. Hate this govt for that, it's not succeeding in it's intended purpose at all

[eurotuner]

So what do they even look for at inspections????

[Dave]

I did one. Basically he visually looked at the vehicle for obvious external items and ensured paper work was in order and that was it. While waiting I noticed many vehicles not having the sticker affixed as yet. Not sure what would happen come January 2019.

The Inspection is basically bogus and IS a cheap money making scheme.

They ask you to start your vehicle (probably to hear any excessive noise). Then ask you to turn on your headlights, washers and wipers. They check your engine bay and ask you to mash your brakes.
They then check your mileage, license plates and that's it.

You then wait and get a Certificate and Sticker (if they have).
Valid for two years.

Trinis and their last minute mentality....

Passed Ramps Inspection Station on Green Street (Opposite Tunapuna Sec) this morning. Line was from there onto El Dorado Road and reached the EMR.

With an extension so much people still waited for last minute??

[blacklight]

Went to Kamus in Barataria at 6 am, waited for them to open at 8 am. They came out at 11:30 am and said they done inspecting for the day. had like 30 cars waiting to be inspected. Had a guy cussing because two days he's trying to get his vehicle inspected.

I "lmao" at the persons on the news last night who were complaining that the Government should give an extension. And that its "unfair" that they have to come after Christmas into January, to go pay for an inspection because things always hardest for January.

It was even funnier on social media. One person was actually commenting and saying how people too nasty and wicked because not everyone working and could afford to pay to get their car inspected.

In my opinion, police and LO should charge relentlessly on January 2nd for non-inspection. There is absolutely no excuse. (and for those complaining about stickers, I believe that the act does make mention that the sticker should be visible and for instances where it isn't, the certificate must be presented.)

So either way, its either you dedicate a full day and wait long and get your car inspected, pay someone $400 to get the certificate and sticker without the wait or try and BS the LO/Police and risk getting a $5000 with the poor excuse of "the place had no stickers de boss"

They had five months grace. Everybody just wait till d last so they could get d most out of their money. What about the rest of us that did inspection earlier in the year. We loss out.

Well they should use public transportation. Wah he go say about paying insurance then!

The thing is, when this woke thing blew up mid year, They were referencing t vehicles. Saying that only two places alone can't handle all the t vehicles.

I kept msging mowt on fb asking when they opening up the private for t inspection, and asking that they should do the same with h under 3200kg.
They said they not sure when, and was not considering the H at that point.


Now u hearing moratorium ending on allll vehicles.


They only come out with the privste fir t in the last month.
When I inspect, there were 5 vehicles in 20 mins.

People last minute yes, but the the system still didn't set up to handle it.

They should check the 5 months from the time they allowed the private to do t.

VMCOTT has been inspecting T vehicles for more than three months with little to no wait time and they also accepted phone-in appointments.

VMCOTT now open for 'T' vehicle inspections

Sep 25, 2018

 

 The Ministry of Works and Transport has announced the expansion of Vehicle Testing Stations across Trinidad and Tobago.

The Vehicle Management Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago (VMCOTT) has been approved as an official testing station for the inspection of Motor Cycles, Private Cars not exceeding a Tare Weight of 2,270 kgs and “T” Goods Motor Vehicles up to 3200 kgs M.G.W.

Drivers are invited to visit the following VMCOTT locations to have their "T" vehicles inspected at the cost of three hundred dollars ($300.00):

- Head Office – Administration Building, #22 Beetham Gardens, Beetham Highway, Laventille, Port of Spain, Telephone: 626-1468/625-9028 or 626-1679

- San Fernando – Union Hall, Cross Crossing, San Fernando, Telephone: 652-0396

- Tobago – Old Farm Road, Scarborough, Tobago, Telephone: 639-2177

Persons desirous of having their motor vehicles inspected are invited to contact the offices of VMCOTT to schedule an appointment.

Walk-ins will also be accommodated on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please take note of the following requirements:

- Drivers are required to present their original Certified Copy, Insurance Certificate and Drivers Permit. Note: Any Engine or Colour change must be conducted at a Licensing Department and reflected on the Certified Copy.

- The vehicle must be Engine, and Under washed.

- The vehicle must not be sprayed with shock oil until the inspection process is complete.


The Ministry of Works and Transport reiterated that motor vehicle/motorcycle inspection is a legal requirement.

In June a five month moratorium was granted on the inspection of motor vehicles.

This moratorium will provide drivers with sufficient time to ensure that their vehicles are properly inspected, and the necessary inspection stickers are affixed to their vehicles, in accordance with the requirements of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Regulations.

Members of the public are reminded that the five-month moratorium will expire on December 31st 2018.

As the Government seeks to bring the incidence of road traffic accidents and fatalities down to zero, it is critical that drivers can provide proof that their vehicle is in a roadworthy condition, stated the Ministry.
