I've been having a brilliant row with my local MOT station. Cnuts.
They think Joe public knows fcuk all about M.O.T. rules and regs. They got it wrong with this Joe Public 'cos he's a ministry qualified transport manager and went to Salford Uni to take the exams.................................twice 'cos the dozy tawt failed first time and had to do it all agin.
Serviced my 4x4 last week,(no, it's not a V8 4.2ltr gas guzzler.........it's a 2ltr, 30mpg, normally 2 wheel drive). Put 4 new tyres and exhaust on it, and new disc pads all round. Thought I'd checked everything.
Took it for test...................it failed.
Rear tail light went out when brake lights come on. (Earthing fault).
No probs. Asked the tester when he could retest it. Mon morn. he says.
Took it back Mon morn. He say's........leave it with me. I'll try and get it done for T time.
I said...........I can't leave it. I need it.
He says........I cant do it then.
I said............When can you do it.
Tomorrow he says. Weve got nothing on.
Took it back day after.
Leave it with us. We''ll try and get it done by T time.
Whoah...............we've been here before.
He says, take it or leave it.
I says........"I want an appointment".
He says you cant have one.
I say I can.
He says Leave it with us, or we cant test it.
I asked him if he knew the ministry rules on appointment systems................?
He says.........I am a ministry tester.
I said.............No. You are a self employed ministry approved tester.
Oh he says. You know all about it do you?
I said..........Forget it. I'll ring the ministry.
He said.........Fcuk off and ring the ministry....................................................
I did.
10 mins later...............................
Erm..........................Mr Grumpyoldb?
It's about your MOT. If you would like to bring it in at 12-30, I'll do it while you wait.
The law states that you are entitled to be present during the MOT test, and that it will be carried out under an approved appointment system.
If an MOT station ever tells you to leave your vehicle with them, and call back later, insist on an appointment. It is your right.
Don't matter if it is for the test, or retest.
Result.
It's not often that I'm 100% right, but when I Know am, I am.
BTW. It passed.............................
