I was wondering if you have some kind of year-inspection for bikes and
cars in Germany. In Belgium, each car older than 4 years must be presented
to a legal organisation once a year for inspection (mainly security
aspects: chassis, tyres, brakes, polution ...). We don't have the same for
bikes. They sometimes (but it's very rare) check the 50 cc bikes that are
normally limited to 40 km/h but very often "boosted" by their owner to 80,
100 or even 120 km/h. This kind of control is carried out by the police.
They stop you on the road. They have a test bed in a truck. They also
sometimes stop you to control noise, but also, it's very rare.
By the way, Phil, I've heard that UK will test driving on the right side
for cars for six months, and if it is a success, they will do the same for
trucks. Is that true ?
