I had a bit of a look but it's a lot of pages . This must have been asked before.
How will they test my electronic handbrake on my car next week?
Do they use the rollers and then press the button. Seems like that may be a really harsh test .
Exactly that. The rollers shut down the moment the wheels lock. How will they test my electronic handbrake on my car next week?

Quick windscreen question...
Got hit by a rock on the way to work today, result is on the passengers side a nice crack from the a pillar to mid screen about halfway up and 30cm in length.
I've got an MOT in two weeks and at the moment struggling to get it changed before then.
Is it a fail????

It's hard to assess from that and it will be tester discretion. Saying that, current advise is it has to be bad, like baseball bat impact bad to fail really.

Sorry, I meant to explain what had changed when I posted the image. The sizes and locations of the damaged areas have been the same for years, so you are right, almost any damage to the screen would have failed. The wording was amended to add the part about affecting the driver’s a few years ago-I can’t remember when exactly-and has changed, I think for the better, how we assess the damage.
