Katsastus reinspection date expired

[livingthing]

Hi,

Last month I went to kastsastus and they advice me some repair and called me back by 27.4. But now I have car mechanic appointment on 28.4 and probably on 29.4 I would go for katsastus. So, what happens if police stops me while I am driving to mechanic on 28.4 or katsastus on 29.4.
Also, Is it necessary to take the car at the same katsastus place whoadviced the repair or I can take the car to any katsastus place

Thanks

Not so much advice than demand... but yeah, you can take your car to a different inspection. Especially now as they have to do it all over again. If you had done it by the date they set, and in that same place, then they would only checked that you made the repairs needed. If you don't have inspection done, then you can't legally drive your car. Make an appointment to inspection and it will be okay to police when you drive to your appointment. Drive for other reason... bye bye plates.

The problem is that the OP is not allowed to drive the car to the repair shop after 27.4. At least the exception here is only for inspection:

livingthing: To be sure I would drive the car to the mechanic already on 27.4. or be in contact with Trafi about getting a transfer permit.
