TBS - release Silly Statement!

It is unfortunate that, TBS are now in contrary contradicting themselves from their duly over due statement, and cleary put WTM utility on peculiar position. The bad news is that WTM Utility is clearly breaking every term of their contracts or well according to TBS.. Read more..

Where should I start ?

The big question is why TBS award a contract to a single entity, ie WTM Utility at the first place serving East London, what about other areas in London West, South and North, what about Leicester, Manchester Glasgow, and other major cities in UK. Which company/organization will be carrying out this exercise of inspection on TBS behalf ???

If TBS did not reach an agreement or reach a certain consensus with the MOT England at the first place, why going ahead with the ill thought exercise at the first place.

Quote from the statement
…and arrangements are underway to have a memorandum of understanding with MOT on vehicles tested for export to Tanzania…..

Unquote.



Lets be honest and frank on this matter. The whole saga surely should be considered either misconduct of duties or averting the cause of just duties. What I am trying to say is that all the individuals within the ranks of TBS and those in the decision makings should be held accountable to that effect.

Surely what it seems from their statement is that, They will go around the country, agreeing and sign contracts with every single garages, which seems to suit their TBS so called standards, Bad news to them is that there are 18000+ of them, they are all providing MOT certificates, surely it will be seen nuisance for them to provide TBS and MOT certificate of the similar standards??? Therefore conducting same checks/procedure and standards as that provided by TBS…This would be seen idiotic at the first place..

Secondly, you cannot compare Dubai/Sharjah with UK. Dubai/Sharjah is a federation of small countries called UAE, they are merely a cities not countries at all, and they are probably don’t have same procedures/standards as that provided by MOT and Europe in large.

Here are some facts to ponder:-

About Dubai
*Population 2.5Millions
*Area 83000+square kms
**Test Centres: 1

About Sharjah
*Area 400,339+ square kms
**Test Centres: 1

About London
*Population 7.2Millions
*Area 1579+ square kms
**Test Centres: 1000+


Looking at the facts above, TBS should have a prior knowledge of the readily available testing centres across the UK. Here is a smart Suggestion, In order to resolve the issue of talking/negotiating directly with individual test Centres, TBS should have contacted VOSA, a governing body which oversee the MOT.

Here is another advice, In UK there are private garages called , kwik-fit , posses garages across the country-providing MOT, why not talking to them, and avoid the complexity of negotiating with the Government, if that does not suit their appetite.

Conclusion

Looking at the statement, it seems TBS is trying to distance itself from the whole SAGA, by releasing silly statement, which is vague, unclear and confusing to anyone who understands.


The last thing is that, TBS is trying to tell poor WTM and fool us in general, According to their statement, WTM is surely breaking every term of their Contract.. Quote
... WTM Utility Services license clearly stipulates that its operation will be localized at East London....

Unquote.

Is TBS trying to tell the business Community it is illegal for WTM utility to inspect any vehicle from other part of London, or even surrounding cities. This statement is clearly a warning to WTM . YOUR IN A BREACH OF YOUR CONTRACT!

TBS mumechemsha!


**Test Centres: Following set of standards set by MOT-UK and TBS-Tanzania.
