Petition -
Response from
No. 10 received
Earlier
this year, after hearing of a government proposal to put back aT
vehicle's first MOT test to 4 years, and then to Test only every
two years instead of every year, a petition was posted on the government's
new e-petition
website.
The
petition asserted that the move would have a serious and dangerous
effect on road safety, and further, would in the end cost motorists
more money in increased service and insurance costs.
The
petition was set to end on the 9th April, and the following response
has been received from No. 10:
"The
proposal to reduce MOT frequency was initiated by the Davidson Review
Team and the Better Regulation Commission whose purpose is to look
at the implementation of EU law in the UK, and the legislative burden
on UK businesses.
The Department for Transport will shortly launch a public consultation
on whether the UK should move away from its current pattern of testing.
Those with an interest will be able to comment on whether or not
the EC minimum frequency of testing would be more appropriate for
the UK, and provide any evidence to support their views. One area
for close consideration is that of road safety, which will be addressed
in the consultation process.
No decisions will be taken on the issue of the frequency of MOT
testing until we have had the opportunity to fully consider all
the responses to the consultation later in the year".
