MOT for mopeds and mopeds

Bovag advocates mandatory MOT inspection for mopeds and mopeds. In this way, the nuisance of souped-up mopeds and mopeds should be countered. The problem is not new, but due to the popularity of these forms of transportation, the nuisance is increasing.

How to combat souped-up mopeds and mopeds? The government and the Bovag no longer know. The measures taken so far are not working. With 1.2 million vehicles, however, it is necessary to take action against souped-up vehicles.

An MOT inspection discourages having a souped-up two-wheeler

Requiring periodic vehicle inspections can address the problem. It is very easy these days to remove speed limiters. The owners who cannot or do not want to do it themselves go to a local scooter company. Don't they want to do it? Most likely another company will be happy to do it. You can find manuals on the Internet to do it yourself. An MOT inspection discourages boosting. In fact, for the inspection, the vehicle must become original again.

For speeding violations, WOK status is imposed

The current way of dealing with the problem is too lenient. For speeding violations, two-wheelers are given temporary WOK status. The abbreviation stands for Waiting for Inspection. This renders the registration certificate invalid until it appears that the moped or motorized bicycle meets the requirements again. The costs of the inspection are for the account of the owner of the two-wheeler.

Is the moped or moped with a WOK status insured?

The license plate is temporarily invalid. This ensures that the vehicle is not insured. The driver is even punishable if it is driven anyway. Only when the status is removed again will the insurer offer coverage again. In the event an accident is caused while there is no valid moped or scooter insurance on the vehicle, the consequences can be dire. The insurer of the motor vehicle may even recover any damages from the insured. In an accident resulting in injury or death, the damage charges can be high.

What is the danger of souped-up motorcycles and mopeds?

The nuisance occurs mainly in urban areas. The heavy traffic combined with speeding two-wheelers brings danger. The danger is compounded by the fact that they also ride on the bicycle path. This puts cyclists at risk and motorists are not aware that such fast vehicles can come from the bike path.

Such a mandatory inspection is one option to counteract the nuisance. The PvdA advocates criminal prosecution for the companies that rig the vehicles. It will be a matter of time until measures follow to counter the current unsafe conditions.
