1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: And so possible show up to our warrant fitness system.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: The government's open consultation on a new proposal. So the

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: first WAFT for new cars lasts four years, cars age

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: between four and teen years, twenty four month check and

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: over ten years is going to be annual.

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: Now.

7
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: Lee Marshall is the CEO of the MTA and as

8
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: well as Lee morning, Hey, good morning, you into this.

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: We're into the review of the system, which we've been

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: calling for for some time because it's been probably a

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: couple of decades since it was last really overhauled. So yeah,

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: absolutely support the system. I mean, as for the recommendations made,

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: mixed views, but we'll we'll ultimately rely on what members

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: tell us.

15
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Okay, what magic wanders You're in charge of everything, what

16
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: would it be?

17
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: Yep, So good question. Definitely in support of campaigning to

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: keep vehicles compliant, so public awareness campaigns are out of

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: safety of vehicles. Definitely, full support for including the review

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: of aid S systems in the warrant fitness check as

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: I've changed a lot in the last ten years in particular,

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: so max sense to incorporate that. As for the times

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: of things, I mean, mixed views on that and depending

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: upon who you ask in the industry, you'd get different opinions.

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: I'm sure missed to think that everyone wants more testing.

26
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: That's that's you know, in the industry, that's certainly not

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: the case. It's it's a mixed bag depending on who

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: you ask.

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: See, I got I got an old car that needs

30
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: to go in every six month, and it's stupid because

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I only do a thousand k's a year of that

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: in it, so that's pointless. But then I look at it.

33
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm in a new car at the moment. I look

34
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: at four years, and four years you can run through

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: a set of ties super easily, and if you're not

36
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: being checked, you might be on some pretty skinny tires.

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And I mean, in terms of what's been proposed,

38
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: four years is an odd one for new vehicles because

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: I've never come across anyone who ever asked for that,

40
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: So I'd like to know where it came from.

41
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Three isn't it? I mean, currently it's three for a

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: new car, so you you know, make it a bit longer.

43
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: It's four, sure, and on a principle of less regulation,

44
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: I suppose, I suppose that's probably what they're going for.

45
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: But I'm not aware of anybody who ever asked for that.

46
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: And to your point, there are plenty of vehicles out

47
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: on the road that will i mean fleet cars. There'll

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: be plenty of fleet cars that do two hundred K

49
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: in four years. So that's a long time to not

50
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: have a test and a lot of use of a vehicle.

51
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's see where it goes and we'll

52
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: get you back on the program at the time, Lee Marshall,

53
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: who's with the MTA year four years? If you're doing

54
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: i mean even the average person does fifteen thousand k's

55
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: a year, so you're doing sixty thousand k's over four years,

56
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: you'd both through a set of tires and then and

57
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: certain circumstances. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen
