Hi Tom,

Ive tested on both over the years and will never go back to a pit. You can still test on a ramp in 30mins but you can't do them all that quick it's impossible unless the only tests your doing are 3 year olds. Then there's the ones that are problematic in emissions department which adds that extra 5 - 10 mins. Our average time taken usually works out 40 -45mins according to reports and even on first tests it normally works out about 35 mins.
Agree with billyboy.
MOT Testing is a professionals job, being a tester myself and after reading the post where 29 mins is average for a test, my view can't see a proper test being done there, but that is only my view. Suppose VOSA monitoring throughput will decide if INCOGS are necessary to prove satisfactory testing.
The monthly performance report shows a testers average test time against the national average.

| Give me a ramp any day. Not waiting for the pit to go up and down must save a good minute.

If You are "Only" a Tester, Why Do you Enquire?
Surely the first Question should be, "How Many Test Lanes" Do You Have?
Have We Not Been Here Recently?

Our VTS is close to 10 tests per day, but our VTS line is shared with our Fax machine.
Would be nice to have a dedicated VTS line.
Dedicated VTS line provided by Siemens earlier this year.

We have Seimens line, but our system is so slow especially first test of day. From start up to finished logged onto test can be 5-15mins, all helpdesk say is 'Re-boot'.

we ha our dedicated phone line put in a few months back , seemed to speed things up a hell of a lot , instead of waiting 2 or 3 minutes for it to do its stuff when registering tests etc. it now takes 30 seconds to a minute .
