Hi,

Just heard European Parliament are voting on 2nd July to create a law which means all UK Caravans will have to be MOT'd. According to UK statistics, there is absolutely no evidence that this will reduce caravan accidents (as they tend to be caused by overloading or excess speed) and will just be a money making exercise in a time when all our finances are already stretched.
There is a petition at http://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/force-eu-to-abandon-mot-s-for-caravans
which is a simple click to sign and just before the vote will be emailed to the chair of the EU Committee for Transport. Or you could email your local MEP or do both.

Thanks.

If it applies to trailers as well.,don't see the problem. We have a duty to keep a vehicle in a roadworthy condition.Surely a caravan with a valid test would give some peace of mind on resale?

 I often wonder if anyone actually takes any notice of a petition anyway!
