? Still can't figure out how they do MOTs without rollers





Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

My fury was too low for rollers so they used a "pendulum inertia inclinometer" that was put in the foot well and the brake test was done with that. Stamp on the brakes/handbrake at twent mph, pendulum swings under inertia and clocks the max swing, the better the brakes, the greater the inertia, the higher the swing. Old school easy.

I had my brakes tested using a pendulum inclinometer at my last MOT, I swear it was only cause the MOT guy wanted a go (err the rollers are broken so...)! But given that they are always fairly pragmatic I'd have let him have a go, if he'd asked!!

There's also the old ticker-tape tester, and then there also seems to be the "just give it a play in the carpark" test. All of which pass my non-roller car (perm 4wd).
