Taking Passengers For SVA RE Test?
What are your opinions lads?
My SVA re test is on Tuesday next week and I am being pestered by the youngest to take him with me.
What do you think the legalities of it are?
The car is insured and I’m on my way to an appointment. There is a waiting room there.
If I took him it would appease his mother who is getting it in the ear to and who has less tolerance to him than i do.

Perfectly legal to take him in the car, but I'd give the test station a ring to make sure they're happy first.

Boredom may be a problem for him - remember that he might have to be sat in a waiting room for a few hours as he will not be allowed to stay in the
car during the test.
Cheers,

If it's an SVA lane at a Goods Vehicle Testing Station then I don't think they'd be happy for you to take a child (not sure
I'd be happy to take one there either!). If it's a standalone SVA / VIC centre then they may be more amenable.

my appointment letter clearly stated no dogs or children. There was a waiting room at Southampton, but it was in a diffferent building out of sight
of the test area.
Personally I wouldn't take a child (or anyone else) with me. It's a distraction for you and the examiner and ultimately pretty boring
unless your actually involved in the testing.

A retest (depending on the fail) can take as little as 5 minutes though, if you've failed on only a couple of points it might be OK to take him

I'd ring the SVA testing station to confirm whether children are allowed or not. If they are, then take him with you.

Well at least, if you do that, it won't fail on emissions.

I wouldn't take him if I were you mate. One more thing to worry about, quite apart from any possible safety issues.

Dont give in anyway. Giving his mother an earfull ????? Well excuse me, but no child
should be giving any adult a hard time about going to something he doesnt need to go to. Use some parental authority.
Sorry if this point of view offends anyone, its not meant to.
