Dear Panel,
As a regular car driver in Jersey and on the Continent, I appreciate the requirement to comply with international standards.
However, as Jersey speed limits are low and constantly being reduced, the validity of the argument for MOT on health and safety grounds is weak.
MOT testing if adopted would likely be put out to private tender, which like all other services transfered to the private sector will see prices increase year on year, as the primary objective of all directors is to increase profits for the shareholders.
For the reasons stated above i would suggest that the current system is adequate for domestic vehicles that are not being taken to the Continent.
For those wishing to drive on the Continent, an MOT style test could be undertaken in the year that travel is intended.This would satisfy foreign authorities and ease demand on DVS/ testing authority.
Yours faithfully Cardin Pasturel
