Yes or No ?

Yes or No ?
If your car fails the I.T.V. and they give you 60 days to retest, can you drive your car within the 60 days ?

Re: Yes or No ?
It depends upon the severity of the fault. It's explained at the bottom of the failure form - sorry I haven't got one to hand - my current car passed it's first and only ITV. From memory there are three categories. Something like:
1. Don't drive
2. Drive it only to the nearest garage and get it fixed
3. OK to drive, get it fixed and re-tested.
Sorry I can't be more precise, I'm sure Fred will be along shortly - I'm sure he must have a few ITV failure forms lying around (well he was rude about my car once)

Sorry cannot give you a definitive yes or no. Surprised that the garage did not give you that information.

Re: Yes or No ?
I would imagine you'll be alright as it's not a safety issue.
What car is it? If it is a diesel your garage will probably give you a fuel additive and tell you to drive to the ITV station in third gear (not much fun).
When doing the emission test advance the accelerator slowly to maximum rather than stabbing at it.

There are four possible outcomes to an ITV test.
INSPECCIÓN FAVORABLE
You've passed.
INSPECCIÓN FAVORABLE CON DEFECTOS LEVES
You have passed but with minor problems that need to be fixed. You can drive normally but if the Guardia stop you and find out that you haven't fixed them it could be a problem so don't ignore them. No further test required.
INSPECCIÓN DESFAVORABLE
You have failed. Drive immediately to a garage and get it fixed and then have it retested. You cannot drive the car apart from directly to a garage.
INSPECCIÓN NEGATIVA
The car cannot be driven at all. Call the Grua and get it taken to the garage then have it retested.

Re: Yes or No ?
My ITV sticker is marked as April 2012. Does it run out 31 March or 30 April ?
