Technical inspection is compulsory in Belgium for all vehicles over 4 years old. And now, it is also mandatory to make an appointment before going there. This appointments can be made via the Internet, or via the Call Center at 087/39.39.49.
Usually you call, and following a while they hang up on you
But this new system does not appeal to all motorists: “I’ve been trying to get an appointment for a month. I tried through the site, through the phone number… Usually you call, and following a while they hang up on you because nobody is available to answer you. The website, let’s not talk regarding it… Despite everything, I will have to pay a fine because I am late for my passage…” s’exclame Christian.
Risk of penalties
Christian is not the only one in this situation. Many motorists fail to get appointments before the due date. But in the event of late presentation, the regulations require the technical control centers to apply additional pricing for delay. And the more the motorist is late, the higher the sum of the fine.
