Question 1046 in the bank

When is it required to check the vehicle’s air polluting emissions?

  1. Vehicles cause no pollution; hence there is no need to perform a check.
  2. Once a month, in every garage specializing in car electronics only.
  3. Once every half a year, at the treating garage.
  4. Correct answer: In the vehicle’s annual test at a licensing facility.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: In the vehicle’s annual test at a licensing facility.

The emissions check is a standard part of the vehicle's annual test at a licensing facility, and a vehicle that exceeds the emission standards will fail it. There is no legal requirement to have it done monthly or every six months at a garage. The idea that vehicles cause no pollution is false, since exhaust gases are a major source of air pollution. Regular servicing still helps keep emissions within limits.
