What happens after an inspection mechanic fails the written exam three times?

When an inspection mechanic fails the written exam three times, the protocol requires them to wait six months before retaking the exam. This waiting period serves several purposes: it allows the individual to take the time to study and improve their understanding of the material, it helps maintain the integrity of the examination process by ensuring that only qualified candidates pass, and it ultimately upholds safety standards.

Providing a structured waiting period also reflects an effort to ensure that mechanics are adequately prepared to perform safety inspections, thereby enhancing public safety on the roads. This policy encourages diligence and thoroughness in mastering the knowledge necessary for the inspection role.
