MOT fail.....sereously???

[_Adam_]

a friend told me, that his friend had a very twitty MOT tester. he told him;

 "you're lucky i passed you mate, having the air freshner hanging off the rear view mirror like that is an instant fail but i'll let you off this time"

is he effing sereous?

Yes.

It obscures your view. Simple.

Yes.

i understand the reasoning - but would anyone actually fail it, knowing they will have to do a "re-test" a minute later when you've pulled it off?

Depends on if they need the business that day and if they think the person will go for it. Bit sh!t really.
