In more than 30 years, I have not had the police check the vehicle. I don't think they'll do it technically either ... like they even pull the handle and they'll push it into the car? Risking them getting too wet, why would they struggle, find another defect, another driver. I no longer agree with the statement that a malfunctioning handle can be considered as "driving a vehicle that is technically incapable of operating on the road in such a serious way that immediately threatens other road users "to classify the offense as 5 points, and withdrawal of the driver's license. Nothing like this can be found in Law 341/2002, the phrase "If there are faults in the brake system on the vehicle that prevent or could prevent the vehicle from stopping effectively (eg cracked brake hoses) or gross faults in the steering system (eg obvious deformation and excessive play), the vehicle is unfit for road use. ", because the parking brake is not used to stop the vehicle. So if they happen to find that the handbrake does not have the effect it should have, then sanctions up to CZK 2,000. I'll ask the drivers, have they ever checked your hand? Can anyone do a survey here? Thank you
