Police say they're finally able to clampdown on vehicles which aren't roadworthy "head on".
From Monday the Vehicle Defect Ratification Scheme will come into play - it's in a bid to make the Island's roads safer.
Motorists will be given seven days to rectify any faults which are found by officers during a stop check - they then have to present their car or van at a police station to prove it.
Sergeant Steven Lapsley heads up the Roads Policing Unit - he says up until now options have been limited but it's time to make a stand:
Ministers to consider windfarm plans
Planners pull the plug on Peel poles
Car boot sale to raise money for football club
Racist graffiti in Ramsey
Event to ask questions about medicinal cannabis next month
Wednesday's race schedule confirmed
Teachers call off industrial action
Marshals appeal for this week's race sessions
