546.6.0.1. The Société may prohibit a road vehicle from being put back into operation where it has reasonable grounds to believe(1) that the vehicle is so seriously damaged that it must be rebuilt before being driven again;
(2) that the vehicle is so seriously damaged or in such a condition that it cannot be rebuilt; or
(3) that the vehicle was seriously damaged and rebuilt without having undergone the technical appraisal prescribed under this title.
In such a case, the Société shall enter the vehicle’s condition in the register it keeps under section 10.
No person may subsequently put the vehicle back into operation, unless it is proven to the satisfaction of the Société, in the case of a vehicle referred to in subparagraph 1 or 3 of the first paragraph, that the vehicle has undergone the technical appraisal and that a certificate of technical inspection and a certificate of mechanical inspection stating that the vehicle meets the requirements of this Code were obtained.
