After the lack of insurance, automatic radars can also ticket vehicles for which the technical control is not up to date.
Over the years, radars have become more and more efficient. Now able to verbalize several vehicles at once, on several different lanes, sometimes in two directions of traffic, they are also able to monitor the use of the phone while driving, crossing lines or going through a red light, among others.

Offenders will then receive two penalties: that for speeding, as well as those for lack of technical control, amounting to 135 €.
Certain limits

However, there are some limits, including the fact that not all cars are subject to technical control, especially those less than four years old. In addition, in the event of major failures, the vehicles still have the right to circulate for two months while awaiting the check-up. It will therefore be difficult to detect the real abuses of normal situations …
