Reply To: BREAKING: Fierce opposition as shock report calls on ministers to scrap the MOT test

It was not too long ago when I read something on the internet about the Government banning all vehicles from the roads in about 20 years time, well I just laughed, then a few days later the same source of Government information turned over their own decision and said they are not banning vehicles in 20 years time now!

It is fair to say that vehicles are of a much better build quality now than ever before, but the manufacturing industry still have to pay wages and overheads, subsidized by government funding I’ll bet. If the government remove all vehicles except driver-less ones, and lets also get rid the of the mot scheme, and very importantly, lets get rid of all the training and the experienced individuals who can service, maintain and repair vehicles, then the unemployment can sky rocket through the roof, then long term loose all the skills and see where the office based pen pushers get their ideas from to train an up-coming generation that are not really interested in maintaining and repairing modern vehicles anyway looking at their college courses that are purely run to get government funding to say their types of targets have been met?

A lot of members of the public will always believe that the garages are ripping people off when the public don’t believe or understand, or choose to not understand when their vehicles do require maintenance, because the built quality is exceptionally good to what it was 20 or 30 years ago.

Now who’s fault is all this?

DVSA said some 30 years back that trained professionals were not needed to carryout mot testing, they said they could take the average jo blogs and show him/her how the test is done and read from a book telling the tester what decision to make, simple, what is the problem with that one?

Back in the 1980’s the college lecturers used to talk about licencing the trade then, it’s never happened and probably never will, so what is the solution to all these problems, I’ve realised an easy solution!

Let the government take full responsibility for road transport full stop, and let then provide for all the people in this country as they are supposed to, you will be much better off without the daily stresses you are all under, and when the sh1t hits the fan, stop blaming each other and just point the finger very aggressively back at the idiots that dreamed up the bulsh1t in the first place and stand united and don’t give in, job done. Stop worrying and let it happen and see where it ends up, it’s never happen ever.
