This lucrative business has continued to hurt many motorists. Today, it is surprising the increasing number of road accidents. Some experts not only the state of our roads is to be considered but also the vehicles.

Jean-Claude Labonne, a mechanic by profession for 40 years and have done several studies in this field in Europe, expressed of what he saw on some vehicles. "I happened to notice that vehicles that have suffered serious injuries and were retyped, and very poorly indeed, were back on the road, "said he.

"I even found one time with a 4x2 with a wheel had been welded to a hurry. At any time, the wheel could give under the weight of the vehicle, "said Jean-Claude Labonne.

An expert in this area explains the process of this business, "Some work of welding and painting it to hide there, and the job is done. But behind all this are the assurances that are often responsible, "says our interlocutor under cover of anonymity.

Indeed, after an accident, an insurance company which determines if the car can be back on the road or not. "These are individuals who then take up the damaged vehicle for retyping. In some cases, cars are even stripped down to the last room, then lift ignoring safety measures, "said he.

Our interlocutor goes on to explain that these damaged vehicles are subsequently sold at auction by brokers. "They were immediately put on the market at any price and are found easily on the road, without the NTA being aware, " he explains.

Sometimes damaged vehicles belong to staff or taxi drivers, and buy "duty free" be examined by a Mechanical Engineer who will write a report, a copy will be sent to the NTA.
