Further checks of the machine for up to seven years are obliged to take place every 2 years, and more than once a year. However, if the vehicle is intended for the carriage of eight or more passengers, then the car should be inspected twice a year, that is, every six months.

In addition to the full serviceability of the machine, it must necessarily have a fire extinguisher, a "emergency stop" sign and a first aid kit, complete with a complete list of necessary preparations.
