    But if someone needs to get their MOT done then they have to do it now meaning sweaty men in the cars breathing and touching people's gear stick.

    From the 30th isn't it?

    Before then you have to have it done don't you?

    No not aimed directly at you. More just the latest on the spread of it

    My MOT is runs out Friday, I’m booked in tomorrow morning, it’s been booked for over a fortnight. I’d cancel if I could, looks like I’ll have to go ahead with it.

    Didn't you hear, it was the UK who launched a biological attack on China as this was developed at Porton Down :)

    Been 3 Buzzards circling my house almost consistently the last 3 days. Clearly they sense that I can't get a food delivery so if they just wait there will be some carrion for them to eat soon :)

    See that makes no sense.

    Some dirty bloke breathing all over your car risking spread of this virus.

    Can't you cancel?

    I would, but my MOT would run out and I wouldn’t be exempt.

    Depends.

    Can you say your dealer does the MOT and Merc is closed.

    Don't know what car you've but if it s fails and it's a good name brand then you need specialist to repair it. E.g Merc or coming to sell etc it will decrease more.

    Which garage is it?

    So doubt a full lockdown will happen as the modellling of the lockdown is based on people having to go to work.

    Binks Brothers, Batley. About as far removed from a dealership you’ll see. Proper old school mechanics that won’t dick you about.

    I’m really not happy about having to take my car in at all btw, the garage can take all the precautions they can, but if they have the virus then it will 100% pass on to me.

    This is what I mean. It makes no sense by Boris yet again.

    Could be at least 3-4 people close or in your car breathing in it but if your MOT is from 30th onwards you don't have to get it done for 6 months.

    Surely the government should just let everyone off for 6 months from now.
