(3) Roadworthiness testing is a part of a wider regime ensuring that vehicles are kept in a safe and environmentally acceptable condition during their use. This regime should cover periodic roadworthiness tests for all vehicles and roadside technical inspection for vehicles used for commercial road transport activities as well as provisions on a vehicle registration procedure to ensure that vehicles. Periodic testing should be the main tool to ensure roadworthiness. Roadside inspections of commercial vehicles should only be complementary to periodic tests and target vehicles on the road which constitute an immediate risk to road safety are not used on roads.

Recital 8
(8) Reports on the implementation of Directive 2000/30/EC clearly show the importance of technical roadside inspections. During the period 2007-2008, nearly 300 000 vehicles subject to roadside inspections throughout the Union have been reported to be in such a bad condition that they had to be immobilized. Those reports also show very significant differences between the results of inspection carried out by Member States. During the period 2007-2008, differences in percentage of certain deficiencies ranged from 0.6% to 41.4% between neighbouring countries. Finally, those reports emphasize the important differences in the number of performed roadside inspections between Member States. To reach a more balanced approach, Member States should commit to carry out a minimumn adequate number of inspections, proportional to the number of commercial vehicles registered at their territory.
