Equivalent to our smog test, but with more safety checks such as seat belts, lights, tires, etc...

Actually part of Ministry of Silly Walks...watch this video and you can see where Monty Python got their idea for that:
How the border between India and Pakistan is closed, every day. [VIDEO]

Lucas makes electric gate controls.

I think MOT is an excellent idea. I just love when the bald tires and no window wiper blades show their ugly heads in the winter (rain) on the LA freeways.

Lucas, inventor of the intermittent wiper.
Lucas, a gentleman does not travel at night. When BMW bought land rover, an electrical engineer looked at the wiring diagram for the new range rover and said to the Lucas tech that there was a short circuit in the design. The Lucas tech said not to worry .... He would make the wire longer. |

Dang, JB. I figured you'd watch Duck Dynasty.
My new favorite quote is when Si sez "First it's pretty tires, then it's pretty guns...next thing you know, you're shavin' your beard and wearin' capri pants."

Lucas, Prince of Darkness.... The English still hang people, Lucas made an electric chair, but..... The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark." Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices Back in the 70's, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.

They've only been dropped once and never been fired.
The French unveiled the new tank. It has back up lights, one of those ding, ding bells doing the Marseilles and 15 reverse gears.
