To obtain or renew their registration for the mobile application, partners-drivers must have the automobile they use undergo, every 12 months, a mechanical inspection in accordance with the standards prescribed in Divisions III and V of Chapter II of the Regulation respecting safety standards for road vehicles (chapter C-24.2, r. 32), with the necessary modifications. That inspection must be carried out by certified mechanics. Following the mechanical inspection of the automobile, the certified mechanic issues a mechanical inspection report and informs the partner-driver of the results of the inspection.
Where the mechanical inspection indicates that the automobile has a defect, the partner-driver or the automobile’s owner must make the necessary repairs or have them made before the automobile can be put back into operation. However, in the case of a minor defect, the automobile may be put back into operation if the repairs are made within 48 hours from the issue of the inspection report. After the repairs are made, the partner-driver must obtain from a certified mechanic a certificate attesting that the automobile is in compliance.
Partners-drivers must keep in the automobile the mechanical inspection report attesting that the automobile is in compliance.
