A number of sound suggestions were made by members of the public, with some of those being included in MTA's submission. For example MTA is submitting that both classic cars (pre 1960) and household trailers should only require an annual WoF, as neither represents a significant safety risk.
Stronach said "We assumed there would be some interest around WoF, but the scale of comment and participation really surprised us. While our poll was just that, a simple poll, there were some noticeable trends with safety being the prime issue."
The government will spend the next few weeks considering submissions, with a preferred option being presented to Cabinet for a final decision expected before the end of the year.
MTA has asked the Government to have a further round of consultation on the preferred options for the WoF, Certificate of Fitness (CoF), vehicle licensing and transport service licenses.
