Abu Arron,
Many countries have the private secotr doing the inspection tests. One good example is the UK. It has been proven in many places that the private secotor does a better job than the government be it the provision of water, airlines or even prisons. This no doubt will include the car inspection tests. Imagine if the government license this test to proven garages? Surely they would do a more comprehensive test than what we have now and we would have safer cars in the streets. As for the corruption thing well this can be minimised by all sorts of random inspections, good guidelines and accountability.

In the UK the MOT also checks for Carbon Dioxide Emmission levels in all cars by sensors, they should take the inspection done here serious coz it’s people’s lifes are at stake when an unworthy cars roam on our roads, it’s like we don’t have enough crappy roads on top of that we have unsafe cars.

Inspectors please wake up and do some real work (I think every car inspected should have the name of the inspector who approved it to be noted) just in case they need to question him for his mistakes that costs people’s lives.

I totally agree that the roadworthiness tests should actually be worth something, BUT, I can’t agree with Nine about private garages carrying out the work. Wasta?! $$$?!

It would seem by the mans unhurt stance(other than his pride) that he was wearing his seatbelt…otherwise he would have surely gone through the window….at least he was smart enough to do that….

The annual inspection is no fun at all. You spend ages in the que and then the inspection itself takes seconds!

It is really high time the inspection is done by private garages. They would save the government trouble, perhpas make it more money and make the roads safer. The government needs only to issue guidelines and make sure that they are adhered to.

Bet the guy sh*t his pants and got the shock of his life. Good thing is that he is OK, and did’nt get hurt.
So much for the BD15 inspection fee which they charge just to jot down the chassis/engine number of the car, and in the process they check-mark the whole check-list.. I love the MOT process in the UK, they really drill deep down to every nitty gritty detail.
Some of the cars on the road don’t belong on the road.
