I got concerned the other day after talking to a MOT mechanic. He said that the LAW is enforcing Road side Emission testing in a big way these days. Spot checking cars by doing emission testing using portable kit. He said that if found over the limit the car would not be allowed to carry on with its journey and be impounded. A fee would have to be paid to release the car. A fixed penalty notice would be issued (£60), also you could receive fix penalty points on your license. What are your views on this guys?
Anyone had a nasty experience of this. Your comments would be most welcome.
Have a look at this report Very interesting reading !!!
