Cars and Yearly Inspections

Germany is one of those nations which doesn't send out a yearly 'warning-letter' telling you of the approaching deadline to have your TUV car-safety inspection.  Basically, you track it yourself, or face the consequences.

The fine for missing the deadline?  After two months of missing, and up to four months....it's a 15 Euro fine.  In this case, you will get the letter to tell you that you missed the deadline.  There are no excuses for the fine. 

After the 4th month?  There will come another warning-letter, and this time, the fine is 25 Euro.  After the eighth month will come the next warning-letter, and this time the fine is 60 Euro.

In Ontario Canada you only need to pass the technical test only when you register the car, for this reason you see a lot If cars in very bad condition on the road, also the tax is the same for the cars regardless of the engine size Or horsepower, so a car with a 1.3 lt engine pays the same as a car with 5.0 lt engine
