The difference in you have a NHS to cover medical costs from injury. The other is law suits for personnel injury from a accident. Example........... get involved in a accident and some one ends up if a wheel chair for life, expect to pay out 10's of millions in settlements, to victim, family. Kill someone pay out millions and go to jail/prision .
Yes,but the insurance company here still has to pay out serious money as well,so that cannot be the main reason.
Yeh, but cause a problem when one of those bits drop off and you get the book thrown at you, then there's all the litigation to follow!
You got that right west slope, none of em know what a gear lever is for. Anybody can drive a dodgem. Even those not up to being labelled average!We have no average drivers here. No wonder we don't have it.
No. That's what armed stand-offs are for.Yeh, but cause a problem when one of those bits drop off and you get the book thrown at you, then there's all the litigation to follow!
Ahh,so that is what the second amendment is for.
Thor,do you go to your doctors for a health check?.
MOT is a good thing, I reckon!
For more or less the reasons you describe!
Some of it is bull, like emissions test. But for the average driver, having a thorough check of safety items once a year is no bad thing.
bulbs etc,but anything that will fail that soon,will be checked and picked up,or should do,if the MOT tester is doing his job correctly.
That and it's another way for government to slowly take more and more control of your life under the guise of encouraging safety.
Mot's have been used for many many years,works well.But each to their own i suppose.
I guess you're under control. The Office of Central Planning approves.
Your control office/central planning might approve,we have not got one.
You said originally that parts can fail at anytime,yes they can,but i doubt they would be safety items,your wheel bearings can and do fail at anytime,so they can be good one minute,fail a few miles up the road,that cannot be foreseen can it,if you are not happy with the Mot tester,or how he did the test,then get on to VOSA.
But that is not the fault of the MOT itself,is it,it is the fault of the tester and the garage he works for,possibly a big wedge of money changed hands as well.
