The Ministry of Works and Transport wishes to reiterate that motor vehicle/motorcycle inspection is a legal requirement. On July 5th 2018, a five (5) 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.
