My boss won't pay for Autodata and DVSA's COMP II is not providing us with the correct data in all cases.
	You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

Tell the boss not to be tight & get either a chart or an atl

ATL is out the question, the garage floor area is not sufficient to accommodate the installation

The problem there is we are based in a town centre and although I do decel tests I really limit them to the vehicles that really have to have them. As you will be aware the public walk and ride about with headphones on and have not got a clue what the traffic is doing around them, in my view a serious problem in a town centre,and using a public road around the local industrial area trying to do a brake test is just as difficult and a safety issue with regards public attitude towards vehicles in this day and age we live.

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

if you need to take it a decel then you need to. If your boss loses out on enough of your time to amount to a even just a couple of MOT's a week then the charts will soon pay for themselves.

I nearly had to take a 2CV out for a decel today. Thankfully I found an old VT40 with a test weight on it as for some reason my autodata charts didn't list a 2CV

That's because they should all have been scrapped by now!

The ones I test are usually in much better shape than most of the crud that comes through the door!
