I took the bike for it's yearly Government check-up yesterday. What a ferkin performance :bang:
It's all computerised now and the tester needs the registration document to list the bike on the VOSA (Vehicle & Operator Services Agency) database, an executive agency of the Department for Transport. The A4 size certificate you get printed out is only confirmation the vehicle has passed it's test. The computer record is the legally acceptable proof that the vehicle passed. So hope this lot are better at keeping records than DVLA.
Also you now only get 12 months until the next test. With the old-style test you could go in a week or so early and the tester would pass the vehicle until 12 months after the expiry of your previous certificate.
More Government bureaucracy, mechanics sat at computers instead of working on cars/bikes etc, and more expense for Joe Public (the test is now ?23.80)
Still, if it puts the bent garages out of business it may be a good thing. But if they are bent enough they will find a way round it. So once again it's the law-abiding majority who are left to stump up the cash.
I forgot to mention - SHE PASSED k1ap - no work needed. So up yours slobbo :f :}
