Thank goodness for the NCT

whilst waiting on my car getting NCT tested this morning 4 to 5 cars went out by the time I was called for my one, I was sitting nearest the door where you get the news before you go on your merry way,

3 out of the cars that went out were defective,

1) big argument with the tester because wire was showing through 2 tyres, the owners argument was they are on the back 🇧🇭 🇧🇭 WTF

2) mid 50's couple, argued that bad wiper blades, one headlight, bald tyre, rear shocks, and rusty brake pipes, they said the car was perfect, I was amazed at this pair of idiots,

3) this lad had 2 cracked flexi brake pipes, no brake lights, no reverse lights, no tail lights, his argument was the puppy ate the wires and the car is booked in to get the wires fixed,

It made me wonder what would be on the roads if the NCT test was not implemented,

That is a deeply philosophical point you make Mad Max.

The reason we have the NCT and all other regulations and laws is that there is a minority of the population who are either stupid, careless, can't read, selfish, inconsiderate or whatever and will not voluntarily comply with reasonable behaviour unless FORCED to do so my law.

eg - we have just introduced speed ramps in our road - a fairly quiet but built up area -
Why? because there are about two or three drivers who persistently drive way too fast in an area where small children sometimes frequent. Now the rest of us who used drive this road carefully and slowly now have to negotiate dirty big speed bumps because of the inconsiderate behaviour of a few

Dont start me

Never bring an idiot with you, you'll always find one when you get there.
