A European Union plan to introduce MOT-style testing for caravans is being resisted by the government.
The proposal would result in caravans weighing more than 750kg being required to undergo regular checks.
The measure would affect many of the estimated 510,000 caravans in current use in the UK, with only the smallest two-berth models excluded.
The Caravan Club, which represents 375,000 families across the UK, argues that its members often have young children and are highly likely to regularly service their caravans for safety reasons. A Club spokeswoman said: "The club will always support practical and effective measures aimed at improving road safety"
All for it, works for Cars, Trucks, Trailers, Motorhomes, etc.
Certainly help getting rid of some of the 'sheds' we all see being trundled around the roads, caravan tyre blow outs due to being stood 50 weeks on deflated tyres.
Please means Top Gear can be more imaginative in dealing with those finally scrapped on safety grounds.
