Seems to be a serious lack of common sense inherent in those who would run our lives for us.

The terms Pissup and Brewery spring readily to mind. Like the management of the company I work for, they are just 'winging' it.

Giving the role of tester to one company with only 46 test centres seems daft to me.
What's the logic behind that rather than the UK (and one would presume other nation's policies) system where we have independant and regulated MoT test centres?

As for the objection to testing once a year, or the clamp down on dodgy tyres, noisy exhausts, dark tinted windows, what's the problem with that?
