This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of vehicles on the road with a timed-out vehicle inspection certificate (TOVIC) and the associations of driver, vehicle, and environmental factors with this infraction. A quasi-induced exposure approach was used in this cross-sectional study to analyze a case series comprising 51,305 drivers passively involved in clean collisions (only one infractor driver involved) between two or more vehicles registered in the Spanish National Register of Road Crashes with Victims from 2014 to 2017. The prevalence of TOVIC was estimated in the whole sample and in subgroups defined by the variables considered. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was used to obtain adjusted odds ratios for the association between TOVIC and each category of the variables. The prevalence of TOVIC was low, although significant differences were found for certain subcategories of drivers, vehicles, and environmental factors. Significant positive adjusted associations were found between TOVIC and license-related infractions, vans (compared to cars), vehicle age, and vehicle defects. Several vehicle-related factors potentially associated with a high risk of involvement in a crash were clearly related with TOVIC, which suggests the need for measures to control this non-negligible number of high-risk vehicles on the road.
本研究旨在估算逾期车辆检验证书（TOVIC）车辆的比例，并分析驾驶员、车辆和环境因素与这一违规行为的关联。本研究采用准诱导暴露方法，对 2014 年至 2017 年期间参与西班牙国家受害者道路事故登记册中两辆或多辆注册车辆之间干净碰撞（仅涉及一名违规驾驶员）的 51305 名被动参与驾驶员的病例系列进行了横断面研究。在整个样本和根据所考虑变量定义的亚组中估算了 TOVIC 的流行率。使用多变量逻辑回归模型获得了 TOVIC 与每个变量类别之间关联的调整比值比。TOVIC 的流行率较低，但在驾驶员、车辆和环境因素的某些亚组中存在显著差异。TOVIC 与与驾照相关的违规行为、厢式货车（与轿车相比）、车辆年龄和车辆缺陷之间存在显著的正相关关系。与卷入碰撞的高风险相关的一些潜在车辆相关因素显然与 TOVIC 有关，这表明需要采取措施控制道路上这一不可忽视的高风险车辆数量。
