There has been quite some debate about this in the UK. It seems nearly half the foreign trucks on our roads do not pass the safety tests required.
MPs kicking up dust, 2 hour debate on LBC a few weeks ago, etcetc.
I have not heard ANYONE however say a word about the 37.5% British trucks not being safe.
As foreign trucks make up a whopping 3.5% of all trucks on our roads, it means 1.7% of trucks on our roads are unsafe and foreign registered and more than 36% of trucks are unsafe and British... Q.e.d.
First of all, it makes a mockery of the entire MOT system. And one does wonder how stupid people are that they all go for this "let's nail the foreign lorry-driver"-thing. It does give me a few flashbacks to history...
Opinions?
