I was listening to a bit of R4's Question Time last evening and the piece about ATOS, the private company being used to determine eligibility for disability benefits. To me it seems very wrong for private companies to do any of this kind of work for the government as the best interests of the nation are unlikely to be paramount; the firm doing the work will be looking after their best interests in the way of profit first and foremost. Any government consultancy leading ultimately to legislation should be carried out by civil servants and specialists in their field who have no pecuniary in the subject. I was how it was always done back along.
Absolutely right Greg. Totally agreed. I myself passed, many, many years ago now, my test on a 70cc machine and then went straight home and hopped on a 500cc machine...Gregg1100 wrote: As it is now, someone can pass test in a very small car in the morning, and drive daddies Jaguar in the afternoon, or up to 3½ ton truck.

And yes, under currrent legislation, Siany, who's just passed her test in a Pixo can now drive a tranny van. Nope. Not right at all.
