Boete geen APK - Many people believe that paying a fine for not having or failing the MOT inspection is an obvious and essential step in ensuring road safety. Nonetheless, there are circumstances in which these sanctions might not be warranted. We go into greater detail about no MOT fines in this extensive post, including why they are occasionally unwarranted and what to do if you find yourself in one of these circumstances.
Yes, I Want To Contest My Fine
APK (General Periodic Inspection) violations are specifically related to the fact code K045b. In the Netherlands, this fact code is used to describe fines levied against car owners whose vehicles, with a maximum mass allowed of 3500 kg or less, no longer satisfy MOT regulations due to a lapsed inspection certificate.
Stated otherwise, the police or another appropriate body may apply a fine with this fact code K045b if your car has not been inspected in a timely manner and the inspection certificate has expired.
The CJIB is in charge of collecting fines and penalties for moving offenses, such as fines for not meeting MOT criteria. Depending on the particular circumstances and the kind of vehicle, the fine amount may change.
Automated registry examination
The RDW imposes these fines using an automated register check in 90% of the cases.
The MOT expiration dates and other vehicle data are kept in a central database. Data from car owners, garages, and inspection stations is continuously added to this database.
Every registered car is automatically checked by a computer system on a regular basis. The current date and each vehicle's MOT expiration date stored in the database are compared by the system.
The Central Judicial Collection Agency (CJIB) will automatically levy a fine on any car whose MOT date has passed without a legitimate extension being registered, according to the system's detection. The owner of the car is then sent this fine.
