No difference except one inspector follows the regs and one dosnt, if your were involved in an accident under the car, big trouble for garage, youd sue them or most would and bin loads of dosh. Garage would be fined, all sorts of agg.

why do local garages advertise the fact that you can watch your car being mot'd etc in the press and on signs outside their premises if its against health and safety. wouldnt the health and safety mob be all over them if thats the case gmb

I seem to remember that MOT garages have a designated area for people to wait sometimes it might be a room and sometimes just a couple chairs in a marked out space sometimes in the garage...
