What's the problem with MOTs? Angel Slavchev in front of FACTS (VIDEO)

When we talk about technical inspections of cars, and your car has damages, they qualify as “minor“, “significant“ and “dangerous“. When the car enters the "dangerous" column, it is stopped from moving. We asked the Ministry of Transport why exhaust gases were “dangerous” and the answer was that it was at the request of the Ministry of the Environment. This is what he announced to Lili Marinkova in the "FACTS" studio. and the show “Conversation“ Angel Slavchev, MP from “Vazrazhdane“.

“In Germany, there are three possibilities, and in our country, problems with exhaust gases are recorded in the column “dangerous” and that's the problem. If your brakes don't work, you can return after 14 days. But with “dangerous“ gas stops the car from moving… Why?“, asks the deputy.

“In the country, a digitization of the entire system and transmission of the review online came into the country, and that's how the problem became. Our offer from “Revival“ is to change the Ordinance in order to clear this mistake and not to stop the cars from moving, but to lower their category. That's just how our admins translated it - all those “significant“ when it comes to gases are listed as “dangerous“. We had to pressure acting Prime Minister Glavchev into a blitz control, explain the problem to him, so that he could order a commission between the two ministries. And otherwise they are made to “we ate onions, we smelled onions”, added Slavchev.
