Drivers across the country are suffering stress when taking their vehicle for an MOT with some describing the process as “a hassle”, survey findings released this week show.
Some of the tests are stressful for me as well! The trouble is that so many drivers think that if the car goes and mostly stops then it’s fine and safe. Even when you show them the worn ball joint, the corroded brake pipe or the broken spring most of them still think I’m just trying to make them spend money.
I don’t how you change the owners attitudes but the fact is, at a guess, around half of them have the wrong attitude to safety!
