Consultation Launches To Introduce Changes To MOT Test
A consultation has launched to introduce changes to the MOT test on vehicles in Northern Ireland.
The changes will include the testing of reverse lights and forward fog lamps, where fitted.
Currently, reversing lamps and forward fog lamps, where fitted, are already required to be operational where a vehicle is used on a public road.
Until now, however, they have not been tested during MOT, PSV or goods vehicle tests.
The proposed changes, launched by the Department of Infrastructure, will see the introduction of EU Directive 2014/45/EU and will bring NI in line with both Britain and the rest of Europe in relation to standards for roadworthiness testing.
The new provisions are required to be implemented throughout all member States by early May 2018.
