EU Legislation -Vehicle & Trailer Annual Inspection...

[royodeboyo]

Does anyone have any detailed info on the impending EU Legislation regarding vehicle & trailer annual testing?
from what I can gather it will ban any modification from manufacturers specification, ie engine mods wide wheels etc!

Looks like a back door entry for Big Brother on the grounds of road safety!

I hope what I have heard so far is wrong!!

Is it actually happening?

Everywhere I've seen it mentioned, someone suggests the apocalypse, and 50 other people turn around and say its all lies.

That's what I'm trying to find out - I think a very similar system is operating in Sweden already!

I wonder what would happen about kit cars and Q-platers?
