TESTING of vehicles registered 10 years or more ago will begin in this I country on Monday. It will at first be confined to tests conducted on vehicles voluntarily submitted, but after a reasonable interval to enable operators to acquire test certificates the tests will be made compulsory. The eventual intention is that the test certificate Will have to be produced each time in order to renew the excise licence for the vehicle.
Some 12,000 examiners have so far been appointed and 64 local authorities have established test stations. Among the municipalities are some who operate bus undertakings, such as Lytham St. Annes, Preston, Lancaster and Damen Transport Depar iments, The Minister of Transport, Mr; Ernest Marples, has stated that it is his intention eventually to make the •tests apply to vehicles registered less than 10 years ago. The regulations were laid before Parliament on July 18 last. At present they apply only to goods vehicles of 30-cwt. unladen weight or less.
• To begin with, tests will be carried out only on steering, brakes and lighting. A test certificate will normally cost 15s. for
vehicle found to pass the requirements. If, after examination, a certificate is refused the owner may appeal against the examiner's decision. An appeal must he made within 14 days of the test and accompanied by a fee of 25s. If the appeal is successful the fee, or part of it, will he returned, Subject to certain .conditions a reduced fee will be payable for a re-test of a vehicle for which a certificate had previously been refused.
Vehicles left for testing at a testing station must be removed within two days of the completion of the test. There are certain instances in which an examiner may refuse to examine a vehicle. Not all authorized examiners will undertake to test all types of vehicles.
Copies of the Motor Vehicles (Test) Regulations, 1960 (S.I. No. 1083) can be obtained from the Stationery Office or from any bookseller. price Is. 6c1. net.
