Article 4Roadside checks

1

Roadside checks shall be organised in various places and at any time and shall cover a sufficiently extensive part of the road network to make it difficult to avoid checkpoints.

2

Member States shall ensure that:

a

sufficient provision is made for checkpoints on or nearby existing and planned roads and, if necessary, that service stations and other safe locations along motorways can function as checkpoints;

b

checks are carried out following a random rotation system, with an appropriate geographical balance.

3

The points to be verified at roadside checks are set out in Part A of Annex I. Checks may focus on a specific point if the situation so requires.

4

Without prejudice to Article 9(2), roadside checks shall be carried out without discrimination. In particular, enforcement officers shall not discriminate on any of the following grounds:

a

country of registration of vehicle;

b

country of residence of driver;

c

country of establishment of undertaking;

d

origin and destination of journey;

e

type of tachograph: analogue or digital.

5

Enforcement officers shall be provided with:

a

a list of the principal points to be checked, as set out in Part A of Annex I;

b

standard checking equipment, as set out in Annex II.

6

If, in a Member State, the findings of a roadside check on the driver of a vehicle registered in another Member State afford grounds for believing that infringements have been committed which cannot be established during the check owing to a lack of necessary data, the competent authorities of the Member States concerned shall assist each other in clarifying the situation.
