- New MOT rules
  
  cookyy2k posted a topic in England & Wales, 12 hours ago
  
  For those who're unaware on Monday the MOT rules changed so that instead of just a fail the defects are now split into two categories major and dangerous.
  
  Does this have any change on the enforcement?
  
  For example a car presented early under the new rules fails on a dangerous defect, clearly it cannot be driven away from the station as it has been judged in a dangerous condition even if it has MOT remaining. However, the fact we now catagorise it dangerous doesn't mean it wasn't on the old rules and so should not really have been driven away.
  
  It is just a case that now it is far easier to put forward that they knew or should have known it is in a dangerous condition and does that mean dangerous driving will be considered in some occasions where a ticket for the defect would have previously been considered?
  
  Adding to this the new category of "dangerous" includes dangerous to the environment not just in the mechanical sense, will this negate the usefulness of this category for showing a careful and competent driver would know the vehicle is in a dangerous state?
