Importance Of Having A Roadworthy Vehicle
Roadworthy or roadworthiness is a quality or property of any vehicle, bus, train or truck to be able to be in an appropriate working condition or meeting appropriate safety standards for the transportation and safe transport of goods or cargo on roads or highways, being accordingly road-legal.

The MOT certificate is required by law, even if it is not required by the state or the county where the vehicle is registered. However, the MOT certificate is not mandatory in all states, counties and even municipalities. The MOT certificate has to be renewed at least annually for vehicles that are still road-legal; otherwise, the owner may lose his or her privilege to operate the vehicle. However, it is still obligatory for vehicle owners to renew the roadworthiness certificate for vehicles that are no longer road-worthy. Failure to do so can lead to criminal prosecution. Also, a failing to renew the certificate can lead to suspension of the registration of the vehicle. Vehicle owners who operate their vehicles without renewing the MOT certificate may face penalties by their local authorities and penalties by the Federal Government.
It is important for vehicle owners to renew the roadworthiness certificate, especially for vehicles that have been modified or have been involved in any accident. Vehicle owners also have to ensure that their vehicles meet the safety requirements and that they maintain them in the best possible conditions. They should take care when driving and parking their vehicles, maintain the right parking area, take care of the tires and inspect the engine of the vehicle regularly. They should also ensure that they comply with all road rules and regulations while transporting their goods or cargo, and be alert to traffic hazards and road signs and signals. They should also keep in mind that driving without an MOT certificate may lead to increased fines and penalties. Furthermore, drivers should the vehicle they are using towing a trailer or other types of transport prove to be a total loss or damage, they should contact a qualified tow trucking company immediately for assistance.
