More flip-flops than on a sunny day in Cornwall  

You may remember back in November I wrote here about the Government's proposals to halve the frequency of MOTs ("unnecessary red tape," as they called it), and the understandable outcry there was as a result from those worried about road safety - car users and pedestrians alike - and those worried about the jobs in garages that might subsequently be lost.Thankfully, the Government have seen sense on this one and have decided to axe their reckless plan to cut the frequency of MOTs. It was frankly insulting for ministers to have expected motorists and others to welcome a move that would have left 800,000 dangerous cars on our roads, increasing insurance premiums for the responsible majority.Call it a U-turn; call it yet another Government flip-flop; or just call it a victory for common sense....
