... such appalling drivers? Is it cultural? Do you have to pass a ****-driving course to do it?
I assume that carefully disconnecting all your brake lights and both dipped beams is absolutely essential to passing the MOT, as is a blindness for red traffic lights and an absolute disregard for other road users.
I have, today, witnessed one minicab overtake a line of waiting traffic to shoot through a red light at roadworks, and within 10 minutes another one pull out into oncoming traffic without looking with cars literally swerving around him. Yet another did a U-turn right in front of me that needed an emergency stop to avoid a collision.
Yesterday there was one embedded in a lamp-post nearby (interestingly it appears that if you wedge a box of tissues on the dashboard and then set the airbags off it results in much blood inside the car and an ambulance visit, but at least you can blow your nose.
Presumably there's a bit of corruption going on at the various MOT test centres that handle these things?
