Today I took a customers car for it's ITV (MOT). Car was passed ok and whilst waiting for the machine to print out the relevant documents I was chatting to one of the inspectors. It seems that from June of this year vehicles built/fitted with ABS with be expected to activate the brakes until the ABS intervenes and releases the brakes and re-applies them. Of note, the MOT station in my area of Spain is run by and to the German TUV standards. It seems this 'may' in the future be extended to France AND the UK.
Will this happen in the UK I do not know but I do know that those who have removed/disabled their systems should keep their ear to the ground.
Add to this in September, that if a vehicle here presented with any ONE bulb out (including the number plate) will be an automatic fail, as opposed to the present system of warning.
