Set the alarm clock for 5:50 pm

How to use the online alarm clock

As you hand the vehicle inspection over to someone else, a 5:50 pm alarm marks the final checks before registration. It leaves a short window to explain what has already been examined, pass across the documents and point out anything that still needs attention before 6:00 pm. The alert keeps the changeover tied to a clear moment instead of relying on someone to watch the clock.

While the inspection continues, the alarm page may be left behind another browser tab, although the browser can restrict background activity or audio. Keeping this page open and checking that sound is allowed gives the alert a chance to play at 5:50 pm. If the page is closed or the phone or laptop goes to sleep, the inspection reminder will not sound, so a separate device alarm is sensible when missing the handover would cause a delay.

Before the vehicle changes hands in the late afternoon, position it where the remaining daylight reaches the bodywork evenly. At 5:50 pm, shadows from buildings, pillars or parked cars can hide small marks and make colour differences harder to see. Moving the car into an open, well-lit area earlier, or having a charged torch ready, lets the next person check tyres, panels and identification details without rushing as the light changes.
