Just think, if there was a directory of owners vehicles on the site, you could troll the posts about work being done prior to MOT tests, cross reference the vehicles with thier owners, and report those that have, 'knowingly used the vehicle when below MOT standard' to the relevent authorities, that would be fun wouldn't it.....
So what I take from this post is that really, the police/vosa etc should be waiting outside all MOT stations and reporting every single car that has failed and MOT test? Or that the garages undertaking MOT tests should perhaps start reporting vehicle owners that have obviously driven their vehicles in an uroadworthy condition for perhaps a few weeks or months prior to their MOT?
Personally I think it's a good thing that the guys on here are doing jobs to allow their vehicle to pass it's MOT, that says to me that they are checking their vehicles regularly, and rectifying any problems found prior to the vehicle being presented to the MOT station. I've had a similar discussion with another forum member previously on here, who was pretty much of the opinion that vehicles should almost undergo and MOT style check every week! How, if you are not a trained MOT tester, do you know if your vehicle is up to MOT standard months after it's last MOT, unless it's totally obvious?
And in true Jerry Springer One final Thought style, this is a good reminder that this is an open forum, and you never know who's trolling about reading your posts, it would appear the big brother is out there and is watching........
