Nonni ekki bulla svona, þó svo að einhver skoðunarmaður komi ekki auga á þetta þýðir ekki að það sé í lagi. Það er eins og að segja að smygl sé löglegt ef það finnst ekki.
Auðvitað á VIN númerið að vera stimplað á boddy þó svo að það sé líka á færanlegri plötu. Að menn kanni þetta ekki við skoðun lýsir meira þekkingarleysi þeirra á reglunum fremur en því að þetta sé löglegt.
VIN er stimplað í boddy og verður ekki fært breytt eða skemmt. Ef eitthvað af þessu er fer er skelin ólögleg alveg sama þó að hún sé nothæf. Af hverju? Vegna þess að þetta er kennimerki þessa bíls, t.d þegar kemur að þjófnaði eða því að sanna lögmætan eiganda.
Það er hálf hallærislegt að maður eins og þú kunnir ekki reglugerðina.
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The vehicle identification number is a fixed combination of characters assigned to each vehicle by the manufacturer. Its purpose is to ensure that every vehicle can be clearly identified over a period of 30 years through the intermediary of the manufacturer, without there being a need for reference to further data. The vehicle identification number must conform to the following requirements:
3.1. It must be marked on the manufacturer's plate, and also on the chassis, frame, or other similar structure.
3.1.1. It must consist of two sections: the first, composed of not more than six characters (letters or figures), identifying the general characteristics of the vehicle, in particular the type and model; the second, composed of eight characters of which the first four may be letters or figures and the other four figures only, providing, in conjunction with the first section, clear identification of a particular vehicle.
3.1.2. It must wherever possible be marked on a single line. As an exception, for technical reasons, it may also be marked on two lines. However, in this case there must be no gaps within either of the two sections.
There must be no spaces between the characters.
In the second section, any unused position must be filled by a zero in order to obtain the required total of eight characters.
The beginning and end of each line must be marked by a symbol which is neither an arabic numeral nor a roman capital letter and which cannot be confused with either. It is also permissible to place such a symbol between the two sections on one line (3.1.1).
3.2. The identification number must, moreover:
3.2.1. be marked on the chassis, frame or other similar structure, on the right-hand side of the vehicle;
3.2.2. be placed in a clearly visible and accessible position by a method such as hammering or stamping, in such a way that it cannot be obliterated or deteriorate.
