The date is now known. This Tuesday, a decree published in the official journal (JO) clarified from when owners of two or three-wheeled vehicles will have to submit to technical inspection. A clarification eagerly awaited by the drivers of these machines, whose representatives remain opposed to this measure.
Concretely, the date of inspection of category L vehicles - those with two or three wheels and quadricycles - will depend on the age of the vehicle. The first to have to carry it out are those registered before 2017: they must then carry it out in 2024. “For vehicles put into circulation before January 1, 2017 and whose anniversary date of first putting into circulation is before April 15, this check is to be carried out, at the latest, within four months from April 15, 2024,” adds the decree. Then, vehicles registered between 2017 and the end of 2019 will have to do so in 2025, and those registered between 2020 and the end of 2021 will have to do so in 2026. For those registered subsequently, between 2022 and the entry into force of these provisions, the April 15, 2024, the technical inspection must be carried out “within six months preceding the expiration of a period of four years from the date of their first entry into circulation”, as provided for in the Highway Code.
Last June, the Minister for Transport, Clément Beaune, announced a slightly earlier date for this obligation, citing the period “between January 15 and March 15” 2024. The control should also cost “around 50 euros”, predicted the member of the government, who added that “the entry into force of this measure will be staggered until January 1, 2027 to avoid a bottleneck in the technical centers”.
It took France almost a decade to comply with a 2014 European directive. Successive governments had backed down several times on this explosive issue, which aroused vigorous opposition from numerous user organizations. “It is an inapplicable, useless measure, the objective of which is to steal money from us,” denounced the head of the Federation of Bikers of France, Christophe Bériol, in our columns in June.
