More proposed changes to annual test

This email received today from the DfT:


The Department for Transport (DfT) urgently requests your feedback regarding the new Roadworthiness Package proposed by the EU Commission on 13 July 2012. The proposal contains two new Regulations and a supporting amending Directive relating to roadworthiness testing and roadside checks.


DfT appreciate the complexity and scale of the package, so have produced a spreadsheet summarising the key items that may concern you and to which you can add your comments for feedback.

This is a DfT consultation, not a VOSA initiative. Do not reply to this email.


Read through the attachments and send your feedback directly to mark.heverin@dft.gov.uk by 5 September 2012.

One of the EU proposals is to exempt ALL historic vehicles from annual testing, and further defines a historic vehicle as one that is more than 30 years old and retains its original appearance and use.

My bus number (if any): RML2532 Keeping Europe's Routemasters on the road.
