Tougher MOT test rules come into force in Britain

Major changes to MOT test rules in Britain have come into force making it harder for cars, vans, motorbikes and other light passenger vehicles to be passed as safe to go on the roads.The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) says the shake-up has been designed to improve air quality and make roads safer.Twenty-eight people were killed and 413 were seriously injured in accidents on Britain's roads in 2016 when a vehicle defect was a contributory factor.
