Is this a true test, or is it "how bent MOT garages are in the UK?"
I mean, FFS, how can 98% more cars fail on brakes in Dundee than in the South East?... something isn't right there. If those stats were to be believed, half of the people in Dundee would be dead!
I was always told that if there is a fault with the car or you have been drinking, then you should drive extra carefully :)
I dunno, I mean it's not as if the average age of cars is older & there's far more salt dumped on the roads in the SE.
Might explain why the serious accident rate in that part of the world is way above the average.
98% more than what? relative differences expressed as percentages can be extremely misleading...

I hope it is not true because I live there !

If that is an accurate quote, all it means is nearly twice as many cars fail on brakes than in the SE.
