I entirely agree. I've been reading people on other forums whooping and hollering, "No more MOT!" as if it somehow absolved them of any responsibility for the roadworthiness of their cars.
It doesn't, it simply removes evidence that once a year a basic safety check was carried out and even though neither of my two Rileys will require an MOT test from now on, they'll both be having one. As has been stated - how do I check brake efficiency at home?
One thing about the proposals that I think hasn't been thought through is the maximum 15% power output increase - I suspect that there may be a lot of pre-'88 modifications declared by owners...
