In the uk once your car is over 3 years old if you don’t have it MOT, TAXED, INSURED it will show up on police ANPR cameras which automatically read the vehicle registration number and check it against the databases, if it sees a discrepancy the camera alerts the police driver to pull the vehicle over. After watching many of “Just Rolled In” videos of American vehicles that have been taken to dealerships for repairs I definitely think that America should have a mandatory vehicle inspection every year because wow some the vehicles you see on that and are then driven away without having any repairs done is just ridiculous.
In fact, most of the few US states that have these have been abolishing them in the 2010s and 2020s with some set to stop them in the next couple of years. Someone, somewhere, went “ya know what’d be nice? More death traps on the road!” And they were all like “yeah sounds good, let’s do that!”
@@ludo9234 when you see the amount that look ok on the outside but underneath is all just completely rotted away and they still drive away in them like wow!
He certainly was rather introspective this episode. And seemed to recall a lot of stuff from previous videos too. Perhaps something has finally seeped in to his memory?
@@MINKIN2 I'm sure he only corrected him self because the video he was watching said it correctly. More than likely he will be back to saying it incorrectly on the very next video that has one of the English county names. After all he has been told how to say them in the comments over and over again and never corrected how he says them.
On the MOT I was in America few years ago, and the person I was visiting had an almost foot-long inch crack in his car windscreen, which he said was there for some time. He seemed surprised when I told him in the UK that would automatically fail the MOT safety check and he wouldn't be able to drive it.
A cracked windscreen doesn’t necessarily mean MOT failure, depends where it is, you could technically have a crack that spans from one side to the other and it be fine.
@@Nikolai508if the windscreen is cracked it is considered as a motoring offense in the UK. If your garage is passing your MOT with one that spans the windscreen me personally I would be taking my car elsewhere.
National trust.. is a non profit charity organisation that manages old historical sights, buildings, estates, castles and maintains them otherwise they would fall into decline, and these sights are open as museums for all to enjoy.. and yes you can buy a season ticket, or just pay at the entrance
MOT's or the equivalent are mandatory in most European countries these days. However in Germany, it's compulsory every two years, although they were always a little more stringent. This was presumably because cars have become more reliable over the years. With the reliability and build quality of US cars, it would probably be too expensive, as the checks would be required once a month!!!
The MOT is a very European thing, that you should have a safe and clean car for the benefit of all. The USA values individual rights, in this cse to drive a dangerous poluting car.
In Europe you can lose your license plate if your car fails on the biannual compulsory inspections. If the car has any steering, braking, suspension issue, you can't even drive it home.
Ten useful everyday phrases for Americans visiting Civilisation. Part 7 - England (United Kingdom, Europe) Adult English to 'American': "I've a few things to sort out": I got some shit to do.

You asked within a few seconds of her saying MOT...if you stop pausing every few seconds and listen she explains. I love watching Americans do reaction videos to our British lives but youre the only one that constantly pauses without listening
@@davemason2604 I doubt it. Because he always pauses it. You’re completely right, MOT. PAUSE!!! It could mean anything you and I are sitting there saying Ministry of Transport and pulling our hair out because rather than pausing and googling just listen and he’d know a lot quicker x
Why would Tyler worry about vehicle safety? The U.S. government already does such a great job on food safety and health care, why would road safety be any different?
I recall a few years ago things changed due the the food health authorities. McDonald’s in the UK uses Irish beef for their burgers. The burgers chicken etc etc are the best of ingredients . So maccies here are more healthier than in the US. Which for us is good because it’s fast food which is not as good as home made food. That’s why I don’t mind having a maccies once in a while. X
@@MrsLynBMcDonald's in the UK uses British beef from British farms.. working in conjunction with Red Tractor and supplied from the meat processing plant in Scunthorpe... simultaneous Ireland does the same for Ireland, and they cross over with each other... let's not forget a few years ago when Ireland inevitably introduced Horse Meat through unscrupulous methods from a Polish supplier to Burger King.
The British Pub. Just to clear up a stereotype that I've heard other reactors saying. The stereotype is that we all finish work at 3 or 4pm and as a group traipse off to the pub, spend the evening there drinking alcohol and getting rat arsed. Some people do that, but certainly not the majority. In my experience, the majority of workers like to get home of an evening, see their family and have their evening meal, AS A FAMILY. I have known guys to get very angry with the bus driver because he couldn't get home in time to tuck his little kids up in bed and say goodnight to them. On this particular occasion, it wasn't the bus drivers fault. The traffic that evening had been a sheer farce due to roadworks in Nottingham. It doesn't take much to get Nottingham all snarled up, or Long Eaton, the town where I live.
Speak for yourself, mate! I live in Nottingham; it’s only the booze 🥃 that keeps me going-especially the existence under the current bloody government! 🤣
@newblackdog7827 Yeah, because the past government did such a good job. They didn't wreck the economy, cause Brexit, make immigration MUCH worse, cut EVERY public service and hand our taxes to their mates! Oh wait, they did all that and more, you absolute melt.
We do have great countryside…everywhere 91.6% is farming and wild areas in England. Best thing we are allowed free access to walk there. Respect it peeps we are 100% lucky.
Don't confuse the poor boy! 😆 The only tea plantation in the UK is in Cornwall. Yorkshire tea is just a blend of imported tea originally devised to suit the water in Yorkshire.
Here I am in Britain eating a Cornish Pasty and drinking a lovely cup of tea. I am a member of the National Trust and English Heritage. It helps for the up keep of our monuments for you Americans to enjoy.
We don’t only watch Uk and USA tv we have many European programmes .also Asian especially Indian tv shows.I think USA is so introspective they are not shown there is a whole world out there.
@@BetsyEimers Tires is right in America but Tyres in the UK But brake is is the thing that slows you down You don't want your brake to break otherwise it won't work!
in the UK ,if your car fails the MOT , you have to get it fixed as soon as you can , a car without a valid MOT certificate , would invalidate your insurance cover ,and also you would be unable to road tax your car
@@thunderbug8640I think gaganda means that vehicles with intact parts, adjusted to its optional function, for example working brakes, are less likely to cause accidents, than vehicles where safety isn't a priority. Whether who's keeping the statistics, less focus on safety equals more accidents. It's a proven fact, however I don't have the numbers for either country. Perhaps the US should be looked at state by state, since the laws may differ.
@@annabackman3028 Yes but what I’m saying is an MOT or equivalent has statistically insignificant effect on road safety. The UK, France and the state of Pennsylvania all have something similar with annual roadworthiness checks and the UK is at 2.9, France is a 5.0 and Pennsylvania is at 12. Deaths per 100k. While the Australian state of Victoria has no regular check and is at 4.8 per 100k. It’s the same story across the board. The numbers are all over the place and a country or state having an MOT or equivalent or not is not a good indicator for road safety as the above example demonstrates. When you think about how a car actually fails this makes sense, they don’t slowly fall apart, they will have sudden failure like brakes fail or tire bursts or power steering fails etc etc.
The other good thing about the MOT, if a car has 10 months MOT left on it, when you come to buy it, you can have more confidence in it if it only has 2 weeks left
I'm sorry, I'm atheist, but I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the church architecture. Soooooooooooo beautiful and I really appreciate that. I LOVE Tudor buildings most. But in London in 1666 and soooo many beautiful buildings burnt and in the second world too............ It's such a shame 😔😔😔😔
After watching a few videos of Tyler, I now believe the Americans are not a lost cause, and they do have some hope. Keep learning Tyler and you will come to discover the US is not the centre of the world.
You obviously haven’t watched a lot of Tyler! He will be just as clueless tomorrow, you’ll hear “what wait, what” multiple times to information he should have absorbed hours before❤❤❤
I can confirm we do not have streaming services, we used to then there was a vote to either have streaming services or tea and 98% of the 4 countries that make up the UK voted for tea so streaming services were banned
The National Trust is a charity that protects old buildings so they don't get damaged, ruined or replaced. It's one of the reasons we have cool old stuff.
The National Trust also owns large areas that include ordinary housing. As an ex NT renter I can tell you they are terrible landlords, they think the laws don't apply to them, even planning and environmental laws.
Born in the states and it always amuses me how Tyler makes such generalizations that "Americans think this" and it is soooooooo not true for me or people in my area. He forgets that this country is so diverse that his "typical" isnt universal. My trips to the UK and Europe in general have changed my life. I cannot wait to move to England and make that my normal as I do agree that there are a lot that the Brits have right and I need even if the world doesnt agree. 100% on Yorkshire tea, preferably Yorkshire Gold as there is a slight difference. As someone who has lived in the states and hated tea, this changed my life and I cannot go without a cuppa anymore. British TV is also great. My favorite nights are when my friends that live in the UK stream things they see as fun but they get to experience it like new thru introducing me to the shows and movies. The tone is different and I love it.
In the Netherlands we have something similar as the MOT in the UK. The test is mandatory, but a positive result is needed to be alowed on the road afterwards. The test result is communicated with the agency that registers cars. That's what the police can check. If your car is spotted on a public road and the test results weren't good, you'll get a ticket.
Yes once your car/vehicle goes in to have a mot the garage does all the relevant tests. A list of things that needs doing on the car. If they deem the car to be unroadworthy without the relevant repairs being done by law you can’t drive your car away from the garage. If it’s just small things that are not deemed hazardous you can either have that garage do the repairs. Or you can take your car to a different garage. When/if you are pulled over by the police they know by your plate who the owner is. If it’s roadworthy. If it’s insured etc etc. just by putting the licence plate number into the computer they have that’s attached to the dvla. X
UK has 5 channels that are available without streaming, BBC 1,BBC 2, ITV 1, Channel 4 and Channel 5. If you liked Fawlty Towers, the Porridge, Open All Hours and the Two Ronnie's. Long running soaps like Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Eastenders
MOT stands for Ministry Of Transport, a government ministry that existed immediately post war until 1970 when it was absorbed into the Environment Agency
I like your content quite a lot, but I don't ordinarily drop a 'like' on it - partly because I just don't drop likes often - but this time I will because you nailed "Yorksher". Thank you :D
My top 10 what the Whole World needs that only the UK has: 1. The Data Protection Act. (If anyone discloses/shares anyone's private data without permission (includes doxing), they will be sued into oblivion). 2. The NHS (it's not perfect, but having a checkup/trip to the hospital/having any type of surgery (including dental) doesn't brake the bank/budget or makes you homeless) including the 3% tax from your income that pays for it (Thus No Health Insurance costs/need). 3. Tax included in all of the prices: what you see on the Price label is what you pay. 4. The PAYE system. (Employees don't have to fill in complicated TAX forms every year) 5. British Sockets and Plugs. 6. Roundabouts on 90% of all T junctions and 100% of all cross roads. 7. The High Street (All Towns have one somewhere). 8. GCSE's. 9. No Aluminum Florid in the water supply. 10. Household Waste Recycling Centers in every city. (Take all of your non-commercial waste and have it recycled).
I once worked with an American and one of the things he wished the US had, is the BACS system in our Banks that allows for money to be easily transferred between various banks.
wait AMerican doesn't have annual car inspections, as a Canadian that just blows my mind. We have them because we don't want some FLORIDA man killing our kids because he thinks his truck is safe enough. and doesn't need to fix those breaks or worn out ball joints.
In New Zealand, vehicles 2000 and newer require a Warrant of Fitness (WoF) every 12 months, while those older than 2000 need it every 6 months. Important note: A valid WoF is mandatory for all vehicles plus you can't register your vehicle without one. (MOT) is short for Ministry of transport.
National Trust is a conservation fund that is invested in maintiaining historical sites and houses, nature reservations ... we all visit these every year, kids holidays etc as most of these places are educational and culturally inspiring have fun events so they're a big thing over here. They are expensive for tourists so we value membership discounts shes talking about drama, kids shows, daytime tv music etc that are nit available abroad . we have loads of stuff you wont have seen but youtube is helping spread some of it the thing is the quality and lack of advertising.
Tyler, in seriousness, your reactions are very interesting to watch, because you really do think and reacts, giving your views value. Thank you, Tyler :D
We are very lucky in Scotland we have the right to roam and camp anywhere we want as long as you respect and are responsible lots of great trails we can go off and you are alone in the wilds it’s great.
We could start a very long list: America needs: (Sigh?!) ... Educating, Education, Healthcare (A proper one) Queues, MOT, Geographical knowledge, Pronunciation, Spelling, Driving lessons, Freedom - Right to Roam (minus the risk of being shot!) No pharmaceutical TV advertising, No excessive advertising during sporting events, No pride taken for _not knowing_ stuff, Quieter voices... (.... Others?)
If your vehicle fails it's MOT and requires repair usually you can take the vehicle back after and get it retested for free, until it passes or unless it is deemed condemned from road use
There are repercussions for having no MOT. Driving a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate in the UK is illegal and can result in a number of penalties, including: Fines: Up to £1,000 for driving without an MOT, and up to £2,500 if your vehicle is deemed dangerous by an MOT test Penalty points: Points on your driving license Vehicle seizure: Your vehicle could be seized Void insurance: Your insurance coverage may be invalid, which could leave you personally liable in an accident Disqualification: You could be disqualified from driving
MoT tests in here in Northern Ireland have always been carried out differently than in the rest of the UK. Tests in Northern Ireland are overseen by the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA), whereas the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVSA) is responsible for tests in the rest of the UK. The main difference between the two regimes is that tests in Northern Ireland UK, are carried out in government-run centres, whereas private mechanics in Britain can carry out tests. Also it’s every 4 years for cars in Northern Ireland. Cost of test is £38 , if car fails test,a re test costs £29.50. My wee mini just passed MOT and she’s almost 14 years old. To be on Road Legally, you need to Tax insure and a valid MOT for car.
It's not every 4 years in Northern Ireland. The MoT in Northern Ireland is carried out annually. Perhaps you meant it's mandatory once the car is 4yrs.old.
You need 4 things you need to be able to legally drive any vehicle in the UK. 1. MOT. 2. TAX. 3. INSURANCE. 4. PASS THE DRIVING TEST. Yorkshire tea is just one of many brand names of UK tea. I ONLY have " regular" TV stations on my TV. I don't subscribe to any streaming services at all. All I ever need is on FREEVIEW.
So a National Trust pass. You can pay a monthly fee (not much, around £10) And you get access to historical buildings that wouldnt normally be accessible, and in return they repair and restore the buildings, keeping them maintained and available for future generations to experience, thus passing on that history. These places normally have lots of land and walks around them aswel, normally with beautiful gardens, woodlands and parks. Well worth the fee, as usually the price for visiting just one of these sites is around the same as your monthly fee, and you can visit as many as you like! So the only thing holding you back is how far away you want to travel
Pennsylvanian here. We've had mandatory annual inspections as far back as the 80s or even 70s and before that they were mandatory every six months. It does very state by state but I believe most states have mandatory inspections.
I live in Sweden and we have the same rules for what the British call MOT, If it's a factory new car you have to have it checked after 3 years, after the first inspection the second must be done after 2 years, and after that it's a yearly inspection (or rather every 14 month, so you have a 2 month grace period). I think this is very common in Europe as a whole, so it's not specific to the UK. I know it must be done in all the Nordic countries, Germany, Poland, Austria, Croatia, and of course the UK. National parks in Sweden is free to visit, we have the Freedom to Roam, we can go anywhere at any time, not in someone's backyard but we're free to go into any forest, even privately owned forests, pick berries, and mushrooms, and even put up a tent for the night. We can swim in any lake, if a farmer grows crops near a lake they are required to leave a path beside the crops so anyone can get to the water. Since the freedom to roam, and go anywhere within the country is part of our constitution, is the main reason why we couldn't have a lockdown during the pandemic. I apologize that my comment is about Sweden in a video that is about the UK. It's just didn't think they were that specific to the British island. The country side can be beautiful in all countries, even though it's not really a tourist destination anywhere.
All EU countries have an annual vehicle check, called differently, but in essence with same or very similar requirements. In Germany it's called a TÜV (after the name of the inspecting body, the Technischer Überprüfungs-Verein), in Austria it's called a "Pickerl", literally a sticker, because that's what you get when you pass. Those are not the official names - in Austria the official name is §57a inspection, but that's practically only used in official documents. Some states in the US also have them, but it's apparently not very well controlled or policed, so you end up with "Lick 'em & Stick 'em" workshops that will give you one if you pay them. Over here it's much more strict, inspection really means something. In Germany, the TÜV's only business are technical checks, they don't have any other motives. They don't offer repairs and they have no incentive to accept bribes. In Austria being able to do the inspection is a valuable asset for the workshops, and they are very careful not to lose it. They are subject to tests by the government, and if they are discovered to have awarded the Pickerl to a car that doesn't fulfil the requirements, they'll be fined and lose their inspection licence. It can suck sometimes. Often, not being able to pass an inspection is a death knell for a car if it can't be repaired economically. But on the whole, our rolling stock is at a high technical standard, and we don't have the rusted out deathtraps rolling around here.
Classic cars over 40 years old no longer need an MOT test - but I get mine done anyway because £54 is not a lot of money to have someone do a formal check on everything - I know other owners of classic cars do the same. But we have the infrastructure - namely approved inspectors (ordinary mechanics in ordinary garages who have the equipment and have been checked and certified) doing standard checks - takes about an hour and a fixed fee - currently £54. Good system. They may give failures for things that are definitely not safe and then "advisories" for things that are not unsafe but should be looked at. You cannot do your annual car tax unless it has a valid MOT (and has valid third party inurance) - its all held on a government computer somewhere.
8:05 Dude, I'm a truck driver that services that business, ie. Yorkshire Tea. Actual company name is Taylor's of Harrogate. Harrogate is town in Yorkshire. They have moved their operations to neighbouring town of Knaresborough, but for historical claims sakes they say "of Harrogate". I can hook you up with some Yorkshire Tea for you to try - for that purpose you'll have to set up PO box.
I think Thomsons is the only acceptable substitute for Yorkshire tea and it’s a lot cheaper. We get the blue packet though as we’re in Glasgow and it’s blended to suit the Scottish water.
The National Trust (and English Heritage) are two charities that own and care for a large proportion of historical sites/buildings and landscapes in the UK. You can buy an annual membership that gives you free access to the sites, buildings and landscapes they own and manage.
British coffee drinker here so are most of my friends and family but a nice mug of tea is soothing on the stomach after a meal and more refreshing when you are sick than coffee. I don't really care about the brand and usually just but the best level supermartket own brand ones, but coffee has be a good quality ground or fresh beans. I had no idea you didn't have the equivalent to our MOTs for cars over the pond, not sure how safe on the roads I would feel.. Mind you, as a young adult in the 80s I knew a lot of people who did up old cars and it used to be so easy for them to game the MOT system getting some dangerous stuff past the testers. Thankfully it has all been really tightened up since then although we all groan when it comes to the yearly costs. The MOT is also useful these days when it comes to buying used cars as you can look up the car via it's number plate via various websites and see all the MOTs the car has been though, helps to see what issues they might have!
The national trust is an organisation that buys old houses/buildings/gardens and then looks after them/maintains them and shows them to the public for a price. You can also subscribe as a member monthly or yearly. There is also English heritage a similar thing but they mostly have ruins e.g. old castles & stone monuments.
It’s accepted that tourists want to visit the London landmarks, like Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, all locations where they may see the Royal Family, and that is for certain at certain times of the year like the Trooping of Colour, when at the end the whole family appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
You don't need to venture out to the Countryside if you live in it. It is around you all the time. You live with the cows and sheep all around you. You see the Country wildlife in all its glory, and you see all the changes that go on. I would never live anywhere else.
Yes look at the national trust some more! The basics is that it is a charity that protects / owns vast amounts of the UK countryside and coastline and lots of historical villages and estates. There is also English Heritage which has lots of old castles etc
4:00 that’s a service, we should also get the car serviced but it’s not mandatory, the MOT is a safety check including tyres, lights, emissions, seat belts etc
Go to the Lake District…it’s stunning. You can stand by a lake, and look up at the view, and not hear a sound! It makes you feel euphoric! We stayed in a pod…look them up, they are fun, and closer to nature! 💙
In my country we have the NCT (national car test) every year to ensure the vehicle's roadworthiness. My 2006 corolla is still passing it. It's an EU directive to take dangerous cars off the road. It isn't only the UK that has beautiful old architecture. Cities and towns in most countries in Europe have incredible buildings from prehistory and the 11th century onwards.
Interesting fact about UK MOTs if a car is registered before 1980 it doesn't need an MOT, you can still have it done for peace of mind. Also if your car is over 40 years old you can apply for it to be a historic vehicle for it to be exempt from MOTs
You can buy Yorkshire teabags at Walmart in the US but for 240 teabags it’s like $27 !!! That’s super spendy! Here in the UK, we pay between £5-£6 for that many teabags.
When making Tea don't forget to pre-warm the cup or teapot with some hot water, then empty that, put the Tea bags in, and add boiling water to brew; otherwise, the tea will be weak and not have the darker well brewed colour.
In Spain it also exists.my son is an inspector ,and they check the cars ,motorbikes,lorries,vans .cars are once a year and vans and lorries are every 6 months.
The National Trust buys old buildings, land, castles, any place of historical value that needs to he saved. They preserve it for future generations. Your annual ticket purchase allows for free parking at these places too. It's well worth a tourist buying one even if you aren't staying a year. You could get your monies worth after visiting just a few places.
Most if not all of European countries have mandatory regular vehicle technical inspections. All components on the vehicle must be approved for public road use. Once I was driving out of Dallas to the Southfork TV ranch and a wheel came off a vehicle in front of me. Luckily it missed my vehicle. Greetings from Switzerland!
If you've ever tried tea made in a US or sadly Canadian restaurant or cafe, you'll understand why tea is not popular there. Tea is made by pouring hot, NOT boiling water, into an ice cold metal pot and taken to you with a tiny tea bag sitting on the side, for you to put into the now warm water to make your cuppa. I am a tea drinker living in Canada and I never have tea out. Canadians who will still drink the tea here or in the US, have to remember that in the US, they have to ask for 'hot tea' as ordering just 'tea' will get you that icey stuff!
"Hi ya", yes, it's a greeting. A longer form of Hi. Might be said when you're meeting up with someone you know, (a colleague of buddy), or as you say, something you say in passing, like if you bump into your ex in the grocery store. Or even something you might say to a cashier when they turn their attention to you. Or it could even be a greeting when you phone someone, even if it's a government agency, or the doctors surgery.
You need to get an MOT certificate each year. If it fails you can't drive your car. If you do then your insurance in invalid. You also have a yearly service on your car but that's a different thing. The MOT results are online and you can check the history of the MOT when you buy a secondhand car. A car can pass the MOT but it also gives a list of things which will need attention soon.
The National Trust looks after over 500 houses, gardens, coastlines and countryside, most of them historic in some sense. You pay like a subscription or membership fee, and have free access to all those sites for a year, including free parking. These sites are all around the UK.
The national trust is an organisation that either buys or is gifted things like stately homes, monuments or parks that have a historical or cultural significance and preserves/restores them for future generations. Stone henge probably being the most famous
The MOT means you need to have enough tread on your tyres, lights need to work, brakes need to work, cant be rust holes in any critical points in the car like seatbelt mounts, seat mounts, suspension mounts, chassis. etc your exhaust cant put out too many particulates or unburnt fuel. so no black smoking diesels. Your mot is valid for 1 year so people go for their MOT before it expires, if it fails you get a free retest within a week. A garage cant charge more than around £35 and they cant make you get repairs from them and its all tied into a government system that records the car, the garage etc to reduce fake MOT certificates, so if a car is pulled over with a fresh MOT and clearly falling apart it can be traced back to the garage and they can loose their licence to do MOT tests. not every problem is a fail, if things are worn but usable you will get an advisory that it should be looked at but it will still pass. all of this is public so you can usually get a good idea of the history of a car. doesnt stop someone getting repairs before the MOT so the car keeps its clean history.
Here’s a thing that British people do that I can’t think of an equivalent of anywhere else and that’s giving directions using pubs So, you might say ‘straight down here then turn after the Royal Oak, you go straight for about a mile and you’ll pass the Fox and hounds on the left and the Black horse on the right. Turn first right and then right again just before the Ring O’ Bells and you’re there!’
Yes, TV is a thing over here. We do also watch and stream stuff on Netflix, Hula, Disney, Prime etc, but we do have a few terrestrial channels, and I'm told, they do have some good programmes on. We do get American shows over here, but also obviously a lot of British stuff.
Kids at schools wait in “lines” to go in to school. They line up and wait in lines a lot in schools. So getting “in line” is a bit childish sounding. Like we are back at school lining up for things in school. Kids get in lines at school. Adults Queue 😊 🇬🇧
Heavy/large, commercial vehicles need to get a fresh MOT every 6 months, as they are usually doing FAR more miles per year than the average car owner. (Possibly taxies as well, I cant remember). Garages LOVE to be certified to perform the MOT, as it pulls in so much repair work, although many do take advantage and give recommended repairs that arent actually needed to pass; the most common seems to be claims the brake pads need changing - I had that 6 years straight from 4 different MOT stations - before the pads ACTUALLY needed changing. These garages are pretty strictly regulated, and if they stray too far from total honesty, they can have their MOT station status revoked.
I’m an English ex Pat living in Canada, I’m a retired Police Officer and in Canada I often see vehicles that would never meet the MOT standards under legislation called The Construction and Use regulations. Those vehicles would immediately be taken off the road by any officer on patrol.
Commercial Lorrie’s and trucks have a very stringent test every year, it’s called plating as every commercial vehicle used to have a metal plate attached to show it was roadworthy. I believe this may now be electronic
Most tourists in any country miss the true nature of the counry.... even though we are an island most tourists don't realise the coast and sandy beaches, surfing etc are places they miss out on. The thing is pubs don't often serve good fish and chips ... you need to go to a local chips shop families go to pubs for birthdays, and events as well as a drink .... there are men's sports pubs and some are for the youngsters and loud music at weekends etc but generally on pubs are social gatherings places and we might meet there casually during the day time. and the country pubs and their gardens and play areas are great for young and old, drinkers or passing through for a cuppa tea or coffee. there's a lot of singing in pubs ... (sometines sporty chanting) but also a lot of live music and folk and jazz etc
British TV shows, back in the day Tyler, you could watch many on PBS, especially on weekends. British TV, comedy, drama, mysteries, all the best shows!!!! It was my favourite channel from my early teens!!!!!
Yorkshire Tea relates to (the brew: But also...), the county of Yorkshire (4 areas - possibly like small states from the USA - North, South, East and West, colloquially known as Yorkshire ), as locally we call it "Gods County", as the natural landscapes are beautiful.
Sure Americans watch mostly U.S. and Canada shows (which many don't realize they are made there, mostly Toronto and Vancouver). However I'm one and I know there are many others who watch a fair amount of British tv series as well. Iconic comedy series Mr. Bean was my first exposure and you can't forget the phenomenal Dr. Who! Nowadays I mostly watch crime dramas. Sherlock and Luther are probably the best known.
A car without an MOT stands a good chance of being pulled over because ANPR cameras are everywhere, and police cars also have them. They will take the car off you and tow it to a yard and there is a fee to pay for that. You can arrange an MOT test and get the car from the yard to take it to the testing station only (providing you also show a valid driving licence and insurance) or if you feel the car is not worth fixing you can elect to have it crushed. You also get points on your license for driving a car without an MOT. This is the same for driving without insurance, points on your license and the car will be towed. To get it back you have to show you have insured it before you can drive it away. Also depending on how long it is in the yard before you collect it, there is a daily charge added to the cost of the tow. This can quickly build up.
Actually any car could be pulled over by Police to confirm everything is OK , it’s not a MOT but they check licence , road tax , wheels of the car the usual stuff to confirm it and you are in a drivable state I.e. not drunk or high on drugs
The National Trust is a UK-wide organisation that takes over the care and management of all kinds of historically important buildings such as Castles, Mansion houses etc, along with ancient forests, Natural Parkland, tourist attarctions etc. they have tp pay their way, and so visitors are very welcome but there is a charge based on one payment per customer. If you want to visit a lot of such places you can purchase discounted tickets that will allow you free entry into as many sites as you wish - but you do need to check the various rates for individuals, families, OAP's etc. As with any services, always check the specific website. MOT's has only been partly explained, Each year the Licencinf Agency will send a notice reming you that your MOT is due. If you continue to drive beyond the due date, you are liable to caught by police from their database. Your MoT will chaek all the relevent components, and at the end will produce a cerificate that will state Pass, Fail of warning. The Fail section wil contain a list of parts that need immediate repair or replacement, which the testing unit may offer to themselves or alternatively you can have it done at a garage of your choice.. So, while the MoT is a good thing, you will have to pay for test (usually about an hour) which varies, depending on whether it's a motorcycle, small car, laege care or heavu Commercial vehicle (the list is long). You will then have to pay for any repairs et, and don't forget that you still have your annual Vehicle Road Tax to pay! The days have gone when you could drive a vehicle that had a hundred problems and dangerous for any road user - simply because many folk didn't want to pay for new tyres or a piston change. The MoT has changed all that. IF your vehicle doesn't have a valid MoT or Road Tax and you have an accident, your insurance will not cover you. British TV has become a living, breathing joke, with the joke being in this who want the main channels - Basically BBC and ITV with a few othe independents also. However, to use a TV in the UK you have to have a annual licence, for which you get programmes that go back as far as the 1950's and 60's - OK in their time, but if you've been around for a long time, you're paying for the same old thing year after year. Because of that, many people pay additional for streaming programmes, but here again, most of it is American as well as British crap that nobody wants.The maximum fine for not having a licence is £1,000 or jail!! It's really a tax implemented by the BBC to pay for their programmimg, but in fact covers the ability to watch commercial channels as well.. The lady must have been stuck in one place, because "Hiya" is not a universally used in the UK; in fact, you only have to travel 20 or 30 miles in any other direction and the greeting will be quite different. There are far too many greetings to list, and some of them are dependent on how well you know the person; but some examples are "How's it going?" "Y'allright?" "Morning;" "Hello there." It's basically only the dollybirds, female office workers and their male counterparts who simply shout "Hi" to those they know! Perhaps the most common greeting is "Nice morning/Horrible morning" etc. There is no set usuage as it depends on the region, people you don't know, those you know well, workmates....as I say, the list is endless.
MOT is the law to drive it on the public road. However, I think you’re thinking of a service which is just good practice to maintain the vehicle. It’s not the only country; Germany has similar test centres.
In France à car must have a control technique every 2 years. If your car fails the control technique you have 2 months to fix the problem and have the car retested.

Yorkshire is a very good tea, now very popular partly because the other big brands like PG stopped selling 'loose' tea, (not in a tea bag). To brew tea properly is very simple but often done incorrectly. Loose tea, brewed in a tea pot (or covered jug), in freshly boiled water and kept hot under a cosy (bobble hat) for 3 - 4 minutes. Pour through a tea strainer into a cup/mug, with milk and sugar to personal taste.
In the uk once your car is over 3 years old if you don’t have it MOT, TAXED, INSURED it will show up on police ANPR cameras which automatically read the vehicle registration number and check it against the databases, if it sees a discrepancy the camera alerts the police driver to pull the vehicle over.
After watching many of “Just Rolled In” videos of American vehicles that have been taken to dealerships for repairs I definitely think that America should have a mandatory vehicle inspection every year because wow some the vehicles you see on that and are then driven away without having any repairs done is just ridiculous.
i am suprised that have not done it as imagine the money and business it would bring in
In fact, most of the few US states that have these have been abolishing them in the 2010s and 2020s with some set to stop them in the next couple of years.

On the MOT I was in America few years ago, and the person I was visiting had an almost foot-long inch crack in his car windscreen, which he said was there for some time. He seemed surprised when I told him in the UK that would automatically fail the MOT safety check and he wouldn't be able to drive it.
A cracked windscreen doesn’t necessarily mean MOT failure, depends where it is, you could technically have a crack that spans from one side to the other and it be fine.
@@Nikolai508if the windscreen is cracked it is considered as a motoring offense in the UK. If your garage is passing your MOT with one that spans the windscreen me personally I would be taking my car elsewhere.

MOT's or the equivalent are mandatory in most European countries these days. However in Germany, it's compulsory every two years, although they were always a little more stringent. This was presumably because cars have become more reliable over the years. With the reliability and build quality of US cars, it would probably be too expensive, as the checks would be required once a month!!!
The MOT is a very European thing, that you should have a safe and clean car for the benefit of all. The USA values individual rights, in this cse to drive a dangerous poluting car.
In Europe you can lose your license plate if your car fails on the biannual compulsory inspections.
If the car has any steering, braking, suspension issue, you can't even drive it home.
Europe? UK is in Europe so its an annual test!!
@@debzlynn3672 In Hungary cars less than 10 years old have to be inspected every second year.
Older cars have to be inspected annually.
The irony of the MOT test is that MOT is short for Ministry of Transport, a government department that no longer exists.

Why would Tyler worry about vehicle safety? The U.S. government already does such a great job on food safety and health care, why would road safety be any different?
Yes you need to get a science book with all the elements to find out what is in the US McDonald’s French Fries
I recall a few years ago things changed due the the food health authorities. McDonald’s in the UK uses Irish beef for their burgers. The burgers chicken etc etc are the best of ingredients . So maccies here are more healthier than in the US. Which for us is good because it’s fast food which is not as good as home made food. That’s why I don’t mind having a maccies once in a while. X
@@MrsLynBMcDonald's in the UK uses British beef from British farms.. working in conjunction with Red Tractor and supplied from the meat processing plant in Scunthorpe... simultaneous Ireland does the same for Ireland, and they cross over with each other... let's not forget a few years ago when Ireland inevitably introduced Horse Meat through unscrupulous methods from a Polish supplier to Burger King.

The British Pub. Just to clear up a stereotype that I've heard other reactors saying. The stereotype is that we all finish work at 3 or 4pm and as a group traipse off to the pub, spend the evening there drinking alcohol and getting rat arsed. Some people do that, but certainly not the majority. In my experience, the majority of workers like to get home of an evening, see their family and have their evening meal, AS A FAMILY. I have known guys to get very angry with the bus driver because he couldn't get home in time to tuck his little kids up in bed and say goodnight to them. On this particular occasion, it wasn't the bus drivers fault. The traffic that evening had been a sheer farce due to roadworks in Nottingham. It doesn't take much to get Nottingham all snarled up, or Long Eaton, the town where I live.
Speak for yourself, mate! I live in Nottingham; it’s only the booze 🥃 that keeps me going-especially the existence under the current bloody government! 🤣
Nottingham traffic is definitely bad at times. Long Eaton not soooo bad, though the A52 can get snarled up at times, for sure!

Just check out the road deaths in US and UK. There's your answer.
Thats road design and road rules not anything to do with the MOT. MOTs are statistically insignificant to accidents, deaths etc.
@@thunderbug8640I think gaganda means that vehicles with intact parts, adjusted to its optional function, for example working brakes, are less likely to cause accidents, than vehicles where safety isn't a priority.
Whether who's keeping the statistics, less focus on safety equals more accidents. It's a proven fact, however I don't have the numbers for either country. Perhaps the US should be looked at state by state, since the laws may differ.
@@annabackman3028 Yes but what I’m saying is an MOT or equivalent has statistically insignificant effect on road safety.
The UK, France and the state of Pennsylvania all have something similar with annual roadworthiness checks and the UK is at 2.9, France is a 5.0 and Pennsylvania is at 12. Deaths per 100k. While the Australian state of Victoria has no regular check and is at 4.8 per 100k.
It’s the same story across the board. The numbers are all over the place and a country or state having an MOT or equivalent or not is not a good indicator for road safety as the above example demonstrates. When you think about how a car actually fails this makes sense, they don’t slowly fall apart, they will have sudden failure like brakes fail or tire bursts or power steering fails etc etc.
The other good thing about the MOT, if a car has 10 months MOT left on it, when you come to buy it, you can have more confidence in it if it only has 2 weeks left

British TV is also great. My favorite nights are when my friends that live in the UK stream things they see as fun but they get to experience it like new thru introducing me to the shows and movies. The tone is different and I love it.
In the Netherlands we have something similar as the MOT in the UK. The test is mandatory, but a positive result is needed to be alowed on the road afterwards. The test result is communicated with the agency that registers cars. That's what the police can check. If your car is spotted on a public road and the test results weren't good, you'll get a ticket.
Yes once your car/vehicle goes in to have a mot the garage does all the relevant tests. A list of things that needs doing on the car. If they deem the car to be unroadworthy without the relevant repairs being done by law you can’t drive your car away from the garage. If it’s just small things that are not deemed hazardous you can either have that garage do the repairs. Or you can take your car to a different garage. When/if you are pulled over by the police they know by your plate who the owner is. If it’s roadworthy. If it’s insured etc etc. just by putting the licence plate number into the computer they have that’s attached to the dvla. X

If your vehicle fails it's MOT and requires repair usually you can take the vehicle back after and get it retested for free, until it passes or unless it is deemed condemned from road use
There are repercussions for having no MOT. Driving a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate in the UK is illegal and can result in a number of penalties, including:
Fines: Up to £1,000 for driving without an MOT, and up to £2,500 if your vehicle is deemed dangerous by an MOT test
Penalty points: Points on your driving license
Vehicle seizure: Your vehicle could be seized
Void insurance: Your insurance coverage may be invalid, which could leave you personally liable in an accident
Disqualification: You could be disqualified from driving
MoT tests in here in Northern Ireland have always been carried out differently than in the rest of the UK. Tests in Northern Ireland are overseen by the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA), whereas the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVSA) is responsible for tests in the rest of the UK.
The main difference between the two regimes is that tests in Northern Ireland UK, are carried out in government-run centres, whereas private mechanics in Britain can carry out tests. Also it’s every 4 years for cars in Northern Ireland. Cost of test is £38 , if car fails test,a re test costs £29.50.
My wee mini just passed MOT and she’s almost 14 years old.
To be on Road Legally, you need to Tax insure and a valid MOT for car.
It's not every 4 years in Northern Ireland. The MoT in Northern Ireland is carried out annually. Perhaps you meant it's mandatory once the car is 4yrs.old.
You need 4 things you need to be able to legally drive any vehicle in the UK.
1. MOT.
2. TAX.
3. INSURANCE.
4. PASS THE DRIVING TEST.
Yorkshire tea is just one of many brand names of UK tea.
I ONLY have " regular" TV stations on my TV. I don't subscribe to any streaming services at all. All I ever need is on FREEVIEW.
The same in The Netherlands
I am 63 and never needed a car. Bus, walk or taxi. Sorted.
There is more than enough crap on "ordinary" TV without adding to them with thousands of other channels via satellite etc. 🤦😐
The system might be called "Freeview". However to watch or record any live to air broadcasts, you are required to purchase a TV licence.
Shes talking about British netflix and yes most of us don't have normal British TV from years ago . We use streaming apps
So a National Trust pass.
You can pay a monthly fee (not much, around £10)
And you get access to historical buildings that wouldnt normally be accessible, and in return they repair and restore the buildings, keeping them maintained and available for future generations to experience, thus passing on that history.
These places normally have lots of land and walks around them aswel, normally with beautiful gardens, woodlands and parks.
Well worth the fee, as usually the price for visiting just one of these sites is around the same as your monthly fee, and you can visit as many as you like! So the only thing holding you back is how far away you want to travel
There's a lot of untrue stereotypes about British people, but the British loving tea is absolutely true.
Pennsylvanian here. We've had mandatory annual inspections as far back as the 80s or even 70s and before that they were mandatory every six months. It does very state by state but I believe most states have mandatory inspections.
Tyler Rumple, “what! Wait, what?” Will be on his grave stone❤❤❤😂😂😂
I live in Sweden and we have the same rules for what the British call MOT, If it's a factory new car you have to have it checked after 3 years, after the first inspection the second must be done after 2 years, and after that it's a yearly inspection (or rather every 14 month, so you have a 2 month grace period). I think this is very common in Europe as a whole, so it's not specific to the UK. I know it must be done in all the Nordic countries, Germany, Poland, Austria, Croatia, and of course the UK.
National parks in Sweden is free to visit, we have the Freedom to Roam, we can go anywhere at any time, not in someone's backyard but we're free to go into any forest, even privately owned forests, pick berries, and mushrooms, and even put up a tent for the night. We can swim in any lake, if a farmer grows crops near a lake they are required to leave a path beside the crops so anyone can get to the water. Since the freedom to roam, and go anywhere within the country is part of our constitution, is the main reason why we couldn't have a lockdown during the pandemic.
I apologize that my comment is about Sweden in a video that is about the UK. It's just didn't think they were that specific to the British island. The country side can be beautiful in all countries, even though it's not really a tourist destination anywhere.
All EU countries have an annual vehicle check, called differently, but in essence with same or very similar requirements. In Germany it's called a TÜV (after the name of the inspecting body, the Technischer Überprüfungs-Verein), in Austria it's called a "Pickerl", literally a sticker, because that's what you get when you pass. Those are not the official names - in Austria the official name is §57a inspection, but that's practically only used in official documents.
Some states in the US also have them, but it's apparently not very well controlled or policed, so you end up with "Lick 'em & Stick 'em" workshops that will give you one if you pay them. Over here it's much more strict, inspection really means something. In Germany, the TÜV's only business are technical checks, they don't have any other motives. They don't offer repairs and they have no incentive to accept bribes. In Austria being able to do the inspection is a valuable asset for the workshops, and they are very careful not to lose it. They are subject to tests by the government, and if they are discovered to have awarded the Pickerl to a car that doesn't fulfil the requirements, they'll be fined and lose their inspection licence.
It can suck sometimes. Often, not being able to pass an inspection is a death knell for a car if it can't be repaired economically. But on the whole, our rolling stock is at a high technical standard, and we don't have the rusted out deathtraps rolling around here.
Classic cars over 40 years old no longer need an MOT test - but I get mine done anyway because £54 is not a lot of money to have someone do a formal check on everything - I know other owners of classic cars do the same. But we have the infrastructure - namely approved inspectors (ordinary mechanics in ordinary garages who have the equipment and have been checked and certified) doing standard checks - takes about an hour and a fixed fee - currently £54. Good system. They may give failures for things that are definitely not safe and then "advisories" for things that are not unsafe but should be looked at. You cannot do your annual car tax unless it has a valid MOT (and has valid third party inurance) - its all held on a government computer somewhere.
8:05 Dude, I'm a truck driver that services that business, ie. Yorkshire Tea. Actual company name is Taylor's of Harrogate. Harrogate is town in Yorkshire. They have moved their operations to neighbouring town of Knaresborough, but for historical claims sakes they say "of Harrogate". I can hook you up with some Yorkshire Tea for you to try - for that purpose you'll have to set up PO box.
Send him some THOMSONS TEA produced in Ireland i have been drinking it for about twenty years now and would buy nothing else. PS the red packet.
I think Thomsons is the only acceptable substitute for Yorkshire tea and it’s a lot cheaper. We get the blue packet though as we’re in Glasgow and it’s blended to suit the Scottish water.
Hell, I'll set one up if it means free tea bags!
Maybe Tyler could get in contact with my dear old friend Spiffing Brit as he swears by a good cupppa of Yorkshire Tea when gaming
He never reads/responds to the comments even though he asks for them. It's all for the algorithm, the more comments, the more money he gets.
The National Trust (and English Heritage) are two charities that own and care for a large proportion of historical sites/buildings and landscapes in the UK. You can buy an annual membership that gives you free access to the sites, buildings and landscapes they own and manage.
Concisely and clearly put! Don't forget Cadw in Wales if you want to visit the largest group of castles pretty well anywhere! 🏴
British coffee drinker here so are most of my friends and family but a nice mug of tea is soothing on the stomach after a meal and more refreshing when you are sick than coffee. I don't really care about the brand and usually just but the best level supermartket own brand ones, but coffee has be a good quality ground or fresh beans.
I had no idea you didn't have the equivalent to our MOTs for cars over the pond, not sure how safe on the roads I would feel.. Mind you, as a young adult in the 80s I knew a lot of people who did up old cars and it used to be so easy for them to game the MOT system getting some dangerous stuff past the testers. Thankfully it has all been really tightened up since then although we all groan when it comes to the yearly costs.
The MOT is also useful these days when it comes to buying used cars as you can look up the car via it's number plate via various websites and see all the MOTs the car has been though, helps to see what issues they might have!
The national trust is an organisation that buys old houses/buildings/gardens and then looks after them/maintains them and shows them to the public for a price. You can also subscribe as a member monthly or yearly. There is also English heritage a similar thing but they mostly have ruins e.g. old castles & stone monuments.
It’s accepted that tourists want to visit the London landmarks, like Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, all locations where they may see the Royal Family, and that is for certain at certain times of the year like the Trooping of Colour, when at the end the whole family appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
You don't need to venture out to the Countryside if you live in it. It is around you all the time. You live with the cows and sheep all around you. You see the Country wildlife in all its glory, and you see all the changes that go on. I would never live anywhere else.
Yes look at the national trust some more! The basics is that it is a charity that protects / owns vast amounts of the UK countryside and coastline and lots of historical villages and estates.
There is also English Heritage which has lots of old castles etc
4:00 that’s a service, we should also get the car serviced but it’s not mandatory, the MOT is a safety check including tyres, lights, emissions, seat belts etc
Go to the Lake District…it’s stunning. You can stand by a lake, and look up at the view, and not hear a sound! It makes you feel euphoric! We stayed in a pod…look them up, they are fun, and closer to nature! 💙
In my country we have the
NCT (national car test) every year to ensure the vehicle's roadworthiness.
My 2006 corolla is still passing it. It's an EU directive to take dangerous cars off the road.
It isn't only the UK that has beautiful old architecture. Cities and towns in most countries in Europe have incredible buildings from prehistory and the 11th century onwards.
A fellow Irish person :)
Agreed
Interesting fact about UK MOTs if a car is registered before 1980 it doesn't need an MOT, you can still have it done for peace of mind. Also if your car is over 40 years old you can apply for it to be a historic vehicle for it to be exempt from MOTs
You can buy Yorkshire teabags at Walmart in the US but for 240 teabags it’s like $27 !!! That’s super spendy! Here in the UK, we pay between £5-£6 for that many teabags.
Tetley's make tea bags make tea 🍵.
Favourite ‘American reacts’ channel.
GUYS HE finally understands Shire is Sure, watch him forget this in T-Minus 3,2,1
More shur, but yeah.
When making Tea don't forget to pre-warm the cup or teapot with some hot water, then empty that, put the Tea bags in, and add boiling water to brew; otherwise, the tea will be weak and not have the darker well brewed colour.
In Spain it also exists.my son is an inspector ,and they check the cars ,motorbikes,lorries,vans .cars are once a year and vans and lorries are every 6 months.
The National Trust buys old buildings, land, castles, any place of historical value that needs to he saved. They preserve it for future generations. Your annual ticket purchase allows for free parking at these places too. It's well worth a tourist buying one even if you aren't staying a year. You could get your monies worth after visiting just a few places.
Most if not all of European countries have mandatory regular vehicle technical inspections. All components on the vehicle must be approved for public road use.
Once I was driving out of Dallas to the Southfork TV ranch and a wheel came off a vehicle in front of me. Luckily it missed my vehicle.
Greetings from Switzerland!
If you've ever tried tea made in a US or sadly Canadian restaurant or cafe, you'll understand why tea is not popular there. Tea is made by pouring hot, NOT boiling water, into an ice cold metal pot and taken to you with a tiny tea bag sitting on the side, for you to put into the now warm water to make your cuppa. I am a tea drinker living in Canada and I never have tea out. Canadians who will still drink the tea here or in the US, have to remember that in the US, they have to ask for 'hot tea' as ordering just 'tea' will get you that icey stuff!
State car inspection we have it in N.C.
"Hi ya", yes, it's a greeting. A longer form of Hi. Might be said when you're meeting up with someone you know, (a colleague of buddy), or as you say, something you say in passing, like if you bump into your ex in the grocery store. Or even something you might say to a cashier when they turn their attention to you. Or it could even be a greeting when you phone someone, even if it's a government agency, or the doctors surgery.
Yes, check out The Cotswolds, The Peak District,The Lake District, many more areas of natural beauty
You need to get an MOT certificate each year. If it fails you can't drive your car. If you do then your insurance in invalid. You also have a yearly service on your car but that's a different thing.
The MOT results are online and you can check the history of the MOT when you buy a secondhand car. A car can pass the MOT but it also gives a list of things which will need attention soon.
The National Trust looks after over 500 houses, gardens, coastlines and countryside, most of them historic in some sense. You pay like a subscription or membership fee, and have free access to all those sites for a year, including free parking. These sites are all around the UK.
The national trust is an organisation that either buys or is gifted things like stately homes, monuments or parks that have a historical or cultural significance and preserves/restores them for future generations. Stone henge probably being the most famous
It’s also gone woke now…so avoid.
@@MsGeoffhhahaha hasn’t the National Trust always been a little woke?
It costs about £50 an MOT test, not including fixing the faults. Re-tests are mostly free
The MOT means you need to have enough tread on your tyres, lights need to work, brakes need to work, cant be rust holes in any critical points in the car like seatbelt mounts, seat mounts, suspension mounts, chassis. etc your exhaust cant put out too many particulates or unburnt fuel. so no black smoking diesels.
Your mot is valid for 1 year so people go for their MOT before it expires, if it fails you get a free retest within a week. A garage cant charge more than around £35 and they cant make you get repairs from them and its all tied into a government system that records the car, the garage etc to reduce fake MOT certificates, so if a car is pulled over with a fresh MOT and clearly falling apart it can be traced back to the garage and they can loose their licence to do MOT tests. not every problem is a fail, if things are worn but usable you will get an advisory that it should be looked at but it will still pass. all of this is public so you can usually get a good idea of the history of a car. doesnt stop someone getting repairs before the MOT so the car keeps its clean history.
The retail price of a standard MOT is about £54, you can charge what you like up to that price,but not a penny more .
@@jasoneldridge4738 its been a couple of years since I had to get one, Ebike now lol
Here’s a thing that British people do that I can’t think of an equivalent of anywhere else and that’s giving directions using pubs
So, you might say ‘straight down here then turn after the Royal Oak, you go straight for about a mile and you’ll pass the Fox and hounds on the left and the Black horse on the right. Turn first right and then right again just before the Ring O’ Bells and you’re there!’
Yes, TV is a thing over here. We do also watch and stream stuff on Netflix, Hula, Disney, Prime etc, but we do have a few terrestrial channels, and I'm told, they do have some good programmes on. We do get American shows over here, but also obviously a lot of British stuff.
The great thing about British TV is we get more program than advert in the same time period.
Kids at schools wait in “lines” to go in to school. They line up and wait in lines a lot in schools. So getting “in line” is a bit childish sounding. Like we are back at school lining up for things in school.
Kids get in lines at school.
Adults Queue 😊 🇬🇧
Heavy/large, commercial vehicles need to get a fresh MOT every 6 months, as they are usually doing FAR more miles per year than the average car owner.
(Possibly taxies as well, I cant remember).
Garages LOVE to be certified to perform the MOT, as it pulls in so much repair work, although many do take advantage and give recommended repairs that arent actually needed to pass; the most common seems to be claims the brake pads need changing - I had that 6 years straight from 4 different MOT stations - before the pads ACTUALLY needed changing.
These garages are pretty strictly regulated, and if they stray too far from total honesty, they can have their MOT station status revoked.
An MOT is not really as good as it sounds, you can completely drive an unsafe vehicle in the UK for 364 days of the year, undetected
I’m an English ex Pat living in Canada, I’m a retired Police Officer and in Canada I often see vehicles that would never meet the MOT standards under legislation called The Construction and Use regulations. Those vehicles would immediately be taken off the road by any officer on patrol.
Commercial Lorrie’s and trucks have a very stringent test every year, it’s called plating as every commercial vehicle used to have a metal plate attached to show it was roadworthy. I believe this may now be electronic
Most tourists in any country miss the true nature of the counry.... even though we are an island most tourists don't realise the coast and sandy beaches, surfing etc are places they miss out on.
The thing is pubs don't often serve good fish and chips ... you need to go to a local chips shop
families go to pubs for birthdays, and events as well as a drink .... there are men's sports pubs and some are for the youngsters and loud music at weekends etc but generally on pubs are social gatherings places and we might meet there casually during the day time. and the country pubs and their gardens and play areas are great for young and old, drinkers or passing through for a cuppa tea or coffee.
there's a lot of singing in pubs ... (sometines sporty chanting) but also a lot of live music and folk and jazz etc
British TV shows, back in the day Tyler, you could watch many on PBS, especially on weekends. British TV, comedy, drama, mysteries, all the best shows!!!! It was my favourite channel from my early teens!!!!!
Yorkshire tea is fine but in general it’s black tea we crave, hot and with a little milk.
Yorkshire Tea relates to (the brew: But also...), the county of Yorkshire (4 areas - possibly like small states from the USA - North, South, East and West, colloquially known as Yorkshire ), as locally we call it "Gods County", as the natural landscapes are beautiful.
Getting in line sounds abrasive more like an order unlike you have to join a queue, sounds more like a request.
Sure Americans watch mostly U.S. and Canada shows (which many don't realize they are made there, mostly Toronto and Vancouver). However I'm one and I know there are many others who watch a fair amount of British tv series as well. Iconic comedy series Mr. Bean was my first exposure and you can't forget the phenomenal Dr. Who! Nowadays I mostly watch crime dramas. Sherlock and Luther are probably the best known.
A car without an MOT stands a good chance of being pulled over because ANPR cameras are everywhere, and police cars also have them. They will take the car off you and tow it to a yard and there is a fee to pay for that. You can arrange an MOT test and get the car from the yard to take it to the testing station only (providing you also show a valid driving licence and insurance) or if you feel the car is not worth fixing you can elect to have it crushed. You also get points on your license for driving a car without an MOT. This is the same for driving without insurance, points on your license and the car will be towed. To get it back you have to show you have insured it before you can drive it away. Also depending on how long it is in the yard before you collect it, there is a daily charge added to the cost of the tow. This can quickly build up.
Actually any car could be pulled over by Police to confirm everything is OK , it’s not a MOT but they check licence , road tax , wheels of the car the usual stuff to confirm it and you are in a drivable state I.e. not drunk or high on drugs
The National Trust is a UK-wide organisation that takes over the care and management of all kinds of historically important buildings such as Castles, Mansion houses etc, along with ancient forests, Natural Parkland, tourist attarctions etc. they have tp pay their way, and so visitors are very welcome but there is a charge based on one payment per customer. If you want to visit a lot of such places you can purchase discounted tickets that will allow you free entry into as many sites as you wish - but you do need to check the various rates for individuals, families, OAP's etc. As with any services, always check the specific website.
MOT's has only been partly explained, Each year the Licencinf Agency will send a notice reming you that your MOT is due. If you continue to drive beyond the due date, you are liable to caught by police from their database. Your MoT will chaek all the relevent components, and at the end will produce a cerificate that will state Pass, Fail of warning. The Fail section wil contain a list of parts that need immediate repair or replacement, which the testing unit may offer to themselves or alternatively you can have it done at a garage of your choice.. So, while the MoT is a good thing, you will have to pay for test (usually about an hour) which varies, depending on whether it's a motorcycle, small car, laege care or heavu Commercial vehicle (the list is long). You will then have to pay for any repairs et, and don't forget that you still have your annual Vehicle Road Tax to pay! The days have gone when you could drive a vehicle that had a hundred problems and dangerous for any road user - simply because many folk didn't want to pay for new tyres or a piston change. The MoT has changed all that. IF your vehicle doesn't have a valid MoT or Road Tax and you have an accident, your insurance will not cover you.
British TV has become a living, breathing joke, with the joke being in this who want the main channels - Basically BBC and ITV with a few othe independents also. However, to use a TV in the UK you have to have a annual licence, for which you get programmes that go back as far as the 1950's and 60's - OK in their time, but if you've been around for a long time, you're paying for the same old thing year after year. Because of that, many people pay additional for streaming programmes, but here again, most of it is American as well as British crap that nobody wants.The maximum fine for not having a licence is £1,000 or jail!! It's really a tax implemented by the BBC to pay for their programmimg, but in fact covers the ability to watch commercial channels as well..
The lady must have been stuck in one place, because "Hiya" is not a universally used in the UK; in fact, you only have to travel 20 or 30 miles in any other direction and the greeting will be quite different. There are far too many greetings to list, and some of them are dependent on how well you know the person; but some examples are "How's it going?" "Y'allright?" "Morning;" "Hello there."
It's basically only the dollybirds, female office workers and their male counterparts who simply shout "Hi" to those they know! Perhaps the most common greeting is "Nice morning/Horrible morning" etc. There is no set usuage as it depends on the region, people you don't know, those you know well, workmates....as I say, the list is endless.
MOT is the law to drive it on the public road.
However, I think you’re thinking of a service which is just good practice to maintain the vehicle.
It’s not the only country; Germany has similar test centres.
In France à car must have a control technique every 2 years. If your car fails the control technique you have 2 months to fix the problem and have the car retested.
Car inspection/MOT is required in some states. Also, even in some states, it's required in some counties but not in another county in the same state.
I am a National Trust member, it costs just over £90 a year. Very close to where I live the National Trust owns a large property of formal gardens and woodland. It’s a great place to walk a dog. As a member I get in free, if I wasn’t a member it would cost about £16 each time, so only 6 visits and I’m saving money.
Pub grub ! 100% cannot go wrong ! ❤
Yorkshire is a very good tea, now very popular partly because the other big brands like PG stopped selling 'loose' tea, (not in a tea bag). To brew tea properly is very simple but often done incorrectly. Loose tea, brewed in a tea pot (or covered jug), in freshly boiled water and kept hot under a cosy (bobble hat) for 3 - 4 minutes. Pour through a tea strainer into a cup/mug, with milk and sugar to personal taste.
