40 year MOT exemption.

It's the most ridiculous poorly thought out nonsense in the history of motoring. Letting ageing vehicles run willy nilly without any sort of regulation is a recipe for disaster. Vehicles will be able to be bodged to high heaven and then sold on to people as restored. I've been a mechanic for over 30 years and keeping an eye on a fleet of cars is very time consuming, so knowing that they all have a stringent test of road worthiness is a good thing.
 
Bikes and three wheelers not until 2022 while they sort out how to work out 'Substantially Modified' applies to them - the eight point rule cant be applied to that category apparently.
 
Even though all sensible and responsible owners will still get their vehicles mot'd I wonder to my self whether it will affect our insurance. I would love to hear the person who spearheaded this ridiculousness try to justify it in front of any motoring body. Sorry everybody but as you can probably tell it really does boil my blood:mad:
 
I am more worried that after an accident the insurance company will inspect the whole vehicle for faults and invalidate a claim due to anything that may have failed a mot. As something may have 'cropped' up 11 months into a mot year would they have picked up on it at the moment. I don't know if they assume a vehicle is road worthy? Not including police report of bald tyres etc
