Measured items/fast track,Vosa"s reply

Thanks for trying to clear up this issue, it seems that there is no right or wrong answer so no points are at stake yet !

So, as there is no right or wrong way of re-testing emissions, will anyone change there ways?? 

Any retests i do now that have emissions or headlamp aim issues i just fast track them now,although i was a stickler for staying with the testing guide,any loop hole to make testing easier seems better then just having to carry out a paper exercise.As at the end of the day on reflection, that's all it is given the currant situation.
On reflection i think its one of those issues where VOSA where quite happy to let us work it out for ourselves and decide from there.
The crap i have herd about testers being disciplined for not registering re- tests with measured items(excluding brakes) have been in reality bullsh1t.
The main issue for me; is we as testers cant get into trouble for fast tracking emissions or headlamp aim re-tests, that's whats important to me from a testers point of view.
It cant be that much of a concern for VOSA anyway,if it was then i think the situation would of been dealt with long ago.
It would justify why VOSA trainers encourage fast tracking emissions retests on refresher courses,one way of getting the message over without spending a lot of money.

Nice to see 2 converts, any more chaps? 

Sorry,I remembered just after I hit "create post" ! but I wonder if there will be more.

Makes little odds to me if I fast track or go the VT40 route. I'm not under the same pressures some of you guys are.

The thing that is confusing me a bit is my reply from vosa is a clear NO you can't fast track - Oh well, it appears there is little to worry about whatever we decide to do.

That's the main thing

Officially no Gaz. You'd have to wait for a special notice for that.

But....

unofficially, no tester will receive any penalty points or be reprimanded if they fast track any retest unless brake readings are required for any failure or advisory items.
