Secure PIN System:
Despite the fact that the present PIN system is secure, it was in every case just intended to be an impermanent measure before presenting the MOT security cards.Your present PIN is something that just you know, much the same as a secret key. After some time, the danger of this getting to be known to other individuals increments. This is the reason you should change your secret key at regular intervals. Your PIN will in general stay unaltered, so is much bound to end up known. Conversely, the new MOT course price shows an extraordinary number each time it's utilized. Since you don't have to recall this, the security card is something that you have, instead of something you have to recollect.

Strength:
Likewise with any change, numerous inquiries and concerns were raised by analyzers. One starting concern was that the new card would be effectively broken in a bustling carport. To demonstrate how sturdy the new cards are, we dropped, twisted and even stepped on a card before analyzers and it kept on working. The cards are additionally waterproof and intended to take general mileage in a carport situation.
The expense:
Another worry raised was about the expense of the new cards. The cards will be without given of charge to everybody who utilizes the MOT testing administration. On the off chance that you lose or break your card you'll get a substitution card free by below average post.
Next phase of testing:
The following phase of testing will happen in September and will include analyzers in more than 300 VTSs trialing the card in a live testing condition. Trialing the cards like this will en sure they work precisely how they are intended to before moving them out to all analyzers not long from now.
