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:
