Vehicle road-worthiness at heart of three HoK questions
An MHK wants to know what's being done to ensure vehicles are fit for the Island's roads.
Douglas North member Ralph Peake will ask three questions on roadworthiness at this week's sitting of the House of Keys.
His queries have been prompted by the IOM Constabulary's winter police checks campaign, which on its opening night found defects with more than half of vehicles stopped.
Mr Peake says introducing periodic MOT testing could help people become more conscious of vehicle maintenance:
TT rider 'suffered chest injuries in fatal crash'
Community on Island 'praying' as 7.8 earthquake hits Philippines
Workforce size and pay awards make health budget 'difficult to predict'
Overhead MER cables brought down in Laxey
