Roadworthiness[1] or streetworthiness is a property or ability of a car, bus, truck or any kind of automobile to be in a suitable operating condition or meeting acceptable standards for safe driving and transport of people, baggage or cargo in roads or streets, being therefore street-legal.
In Europe, roadworthy inspection is regulated by:
- Directive 2014/45/EU, on periodic roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers,[2]
- Directive 2014/46/EU, on the registration documents for vehicles,[3]
- Directive 2014/47/EU, on the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles.[4][5]
