Roadworthiness testing from 1 July – TÜV SÜD video shows what's new 

Test drives, testing of electronic safety systems and an end to antedating throughout Germany – from 1 July onwards, comprehensive changes will be introduced to roadworthiness testing. TÜV SÜD explains these changes awaiting motorists and other new developments in a video that can be watched on the Internet at www.tuev-sued.de/auto_fahrzeuge.  

Lateness: The issue that raised most attention in the runup to the amendment was the abolition of antedating. In future, the date of the next roadworthiness check will no longer be determined by the actual due date but by the date on which the roadworthiness check actually takes place. An invitation to play for time? No say TÜV SÜD's experts. Vehicles presented to the roadworthiness check more than two months after the deadline will have to undergo a more in-depth inspection in the future, for which motorists will be charged a 20-per-cent higher fee. In addition, as in the past, these motorists run the risk of being fined by the police. Motorists causing an accident with a vehicle on which the TÜV sticker has expired further risk losing their insurance cover.
