I do get details open every door etc check fuel cap outside and then log on
And test it if boss is doing one I'll do top end outside there is nothing in the testers guide that says you can't do it

You do topside inspection outside? Good luck to you, but I think that’s a really bad idea.

You say its a really bad idea but then fail to tell us why?

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.

Prechecks can be done anywhere and by any one because the car is not logged on. Prechecks aren’t even mandatory checks.

I did say why it’s a bad idea, because the whole of the inspection should be conducted within the authorised testing area.

Purely my opinion but pre-checks are one thing and can be done anywhere but that's BEFORE the vehicle is logged on. I would be very wary of logging a car on before it's in the authorised bay. I agree there's no real harm in it just to do topside checks but I do think you're leaving yourself vulnerable.

Viewing areas back in use and full assistance without social distancing. Might be worth remembering!

How was that notified to us? Having searched through the Testing Guide I'm missing that info, and I don't recall a MTS message to advise otherwise? Covid is still very much on the increase and a serious threat to many peoples health.

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.

We still do one in the reception room and one out unless they are related our reception is our viewing area aswell we have had a visit from the HSE wearing his go pro and countless phone calls we use our common sense only for the customer s and we have had some paranoid ones
