RE:
Changes to Motor Vehicle Inspection Regulations
As
of February 1, 2007, the regulation for Motor Vehicle Inspections in
Nova Scotia have changed. Significant changes to the regulation include:
- Removal
of wheels to check brakes
- Increase
in fees ($25 for most cars and trucks)
- New
requirements for testers and increased compliance enforcement
- Vehicles
found to be un-roadworthy will not be issued a reject sticker thus placing
the vehicle out of service.
In
the case where a wheel or brake drum cannot be removed using normal shop
practices, you will be informed and must authorize the additional work/cost.
Should you choose to refuse the additional work, the vehicle will be rejected
and deemed un-roadworthy.
