Logging a vehicle on! Jun 29, 2016 15:57:23 GMT 1 via mobile

So have had this happen to me. Logged a vehicle on. Printed out a confirmation if test as I have to do this where I work. Then gone off to test the vehicle. Have come back logged on with my userid and it says system error. Have tried again and it let me in but has not confirmed the test!! I have now logged the vehicle on again but don't want to enter results as it will register as a pre 20min test? Any ideas as to how this happened and the best way to deal with it. Just in case it happens again. It might have been me not confirming but I don't think so.

As a worker in a responsible skilled roll within a skilled trade why am I paid so poor??

If you printed a mot inspection sheet of it would have the time you first started the test,if so you could of phoned the enquiry number,and let them sort it out. but if you did not print the inspection sheet off and comfirm test you could always right something on your sheet why it was a short test,

I’ve had similar happen. I didn’t hang around counting the clock down, just logged straight on-and-off and made fullest notes in case of a subsequent query.

Today I logged-on an old MG Midget. The ‘first use’ info said 1990 which I refused to believe. Went to the MoT History site which gave 1964; this matched the reg number suffix. Quite important when applying the correct standards.

Other than the time stamp on the emissions report and making a note on my inspection sheet is there any other way of covering my ass.
