....my bastard car just failed its MOT on me ...



Now I gotta wait and see what they quote me to fix it and get it back on the road, just so I can get to work to earn the money to pay to mend the car that got me there in the first place....

It's a compulsory, annual vehicle check to make sure your car is safe to drive, that us UK people have to get done...


It's also a licence for garages to print money.

Good thing is that with no car I am stuck at work....where I can access the Org all the time.....



No, wait, come back....!

U see, if u live in the US, u dont have 2 b bothered with any of that BS!!!! Theres only 4 states that have a road inspection test, the other 46 states dont and cant b bothered with any of that!!!!

So when your car fails and crashes and kills you instantly..don't coming running to me.

Gold319 said:

which states are you livin' in? I thought more had inspections than that.

Well Minnesota certainly never had state inspection, neither did Washington State either where we also lived!!!!

So far the only ones I know that have that are Texas and Pennsylvania, but I know theres at least 2 others that dont!!

ANY car can crash, regardless of whether its had an MOT test or not!!!! A brand new car straight from the production line can fail on someone!! Anyway, it all depends on HOW a car is driven!! And my husband who is an American, says that UK drivers are the worse in the world!!! That is one reason why he wont drive over here and I am the main driver in the family!!! They have no regard for other drivers, they are arrogant and think they own the whole road!!! They think they are the only ones who are supposed 2 b on the road and sod everyone else!!! They show no common curtesey, they disregard most of the rules, they dont even know what lanes they are supposed 2 b on for what turnings!!!! I have had many a close call because of stupid incompetent drivers!!!!

yeah, not what she said.

x about a million!!!


lmfao

Gold319 said:

Oh, in that case I should be OK to drive it with no MOT?!


Thanks PC Gold 319 for the legal standpoint on driving fucked cars

Gold319 said:

And how many places has this guy driven, he's obviously never driven in France.

So your not the only one to make stupid generalisations and insult the whole country, I'm a good driver thanks very much so you can take your comments and ram them up your ****

wow! learn somethin new everyday.

I live in a state that still requires car inspections.
They call it "DEQ" here = for Dept of Quality. We have to have it done every two years in order to keep our cars on the road and licensed. It is a HUGE pain in the ass and costs about $50.00 every two years on top of licensing fees. I think it is a huge rip-off, from what I understand the states that do not require this have a state sales tax, just another way to get our money

We have to get a "Road Worthy" slip each year. The local mechanic does it and it cost about $20. They check everything that should be working and that the tires are good too.
