Change of odometer data to be penalized
Change of customer odometer, the device which measures mileage of the car, may be penalized.
Parliament Members have registered a law on this efect. The authors of the initiative claim that this practice is increasing, which threatens people's safety.
Typically, odometer data is changed in order to easily sell a second-hand car.
Meanwhile, this practice has become widespread, and a simple internet search ends with dozens of ads that propose such services.
Our reporter called one of these numbers and was convinced how easy it is to deceive people.
The authors of the bill say that these practices should not be tolerated.
Specialists in the field say that the false detection without a professional diagnosis is almost impossible.
If the draft is adopted, fines for such violations will be 7,500 lei for individuals, and up to 22 thousand for legal persons.
