• A senior vehicle examiner is under investigation at the Vehicle Inspectorate following allegations of disconnected car speedometers.
Exeter-based Ralph Wogan, who is in charge of CV roadside checks and the policing of car MoT standards in garages in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, has been suspended from his job since the spring.
The VI this week confirmed the existence of an investigation into Wogan but is refusing to comment on the content of the allegations made against him.
"We want the highest stan• dards of integrity from our staff but all staff are presumed innocent until found guilty," says VI deputy chief executive Julian David. "We must give them adequate opportunity to defend themselves."
Wogan declines to comment.
