Customer states

I like these, it's almost unbelieveable how stupid some drivers are.

It makes me grateful for our MoT test system. It seems that many US states have no mandatory roadworthiness checks. "The land of the free!"

I watch a chap on YouTube who repairs coaches, old greyhound busses etc which have been converted to RVs, you should see the state some of those things that come in for work, apparantly once you regsiter them as an RV they fall out of the system altogether, string glue and baling wire is all over them.

When i worked in garages things that came in would scare the life out of you, im surprised that there are not more accidents with faulty cars.
One chap came in as he had a noise from the engine<water pump> when I drove it onto the ramp I near went off the end, yep no brakes, pointed this out to him, his reply was I always use the lever brake and never noticed or used that pedal.
By law a garage must not release a faulty car unless the customer has it removed on a low loader, the MOT stations here do this all the time and make you sign a form.

USA is not the land of the free; more the land of the eye-wateringly expensive ...

I remember a customer came in stating his dash warning light was flashing sometimes, could we have a look, so I jumped in to drive it onto the ramp, feck I almost went off the other end, yep no foot brake at all, I ask him how he stopped and his reply was I use the lever brakes always as they are the best, there was no fluid in the m cyl and hence the low-level light flashing.
Thats only one of many over the years.
