Can I drive a vehicle that has been decommissioned?

It is prohibited to use a vehicle that has been decommissioned from traffic. If the licence plates of a vehicle that has been decommissioned from traffic have not been returned and the vehicle is covered by a valid motor insurance, the vehicle may be used in traffic until the end of the day on which the decommissioning has been completed.

A vehicle that has been decommissioned may be moved to a pre-arranged vehicle inspection test and, from there, to repair or storage if the vehicle number plates have not been returned and the vehicle’s motor insurance has not ended.
