£7095 in total paid out. 158 requests for compensation for April 25th fiasco. So if each of these received payment for 1 lost test (at full price) each: 158 x £44.15 = £6975.70 That leaves £7095 - £6975.70 = £119.30 Take April 25th's claimants from the overall total claimants since MOT Computerisation began: 253 - 158 = 95 Share the remaining pay-outs among these claimants: £119.30 / 95 = £1.25 each

hello all
hears a good one a local garage near me has just had 30 points
for not filling the emergency test log out properly i don't know the ins and outs of it but will find out more
if it was me i would give the vosa guy my smart card and tell him to stuff it
then go to the doctors and go on the sick see a solicitor and chase my case for stress and name vosa as the cause

I think a letter to Bristol would be in order there. Graham
