70,000 cars without inspection
70 thousand vehicles are circulating “illegally” because they have never passed the technical inspection. They are at risk of getting a fine of ¢13 thousand from Transit Police.
Some users interviewed said that “the spare parts are very expensive” and that “the constant increases in the gasoline” force to leave them their vehicles at home, so for those reasons they don’t go to the inspection.
Other stats:
41% of cars are rejected on the first inspection.
15 of 100 vehicles that are rejected for faulty brakes.
50% of the cars inspected in Limón are rejected.
8 of 10 cars they have suspension problems. (surprise!)
