General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

With regard to the statement Jack Cousen's made, do you honestly expect anything different.
Look carefully at the words. See how he specifically avoids facts and all costs. Psychological wording is useful and can mislead the reader. He carefully stated: 'could make costs worse for drivers with higher repair bills '.
Number one is the use of 'could', which says that there is a possibility. So, let's say this: If you spend £100 a week playing the Lottery, you could end up being a millionaire. But, it is also possible that you only end up losing £100 a week.
Also, he only states: higher repair bills. Does not mention the money saved on MOT costs.
Then there is the wonderful word: dangerous. How many accidents are caused by speeding, bad driving, tiredness, lack of concentration, distractions etc. It would be very interesting to hear how many accidents occurred due to a faulty bulb or a worn windscreen wiper.

His last words about jobs, I agree with.
