This can't be safe can it?


I would never let this happen to my car nor would I ever drive one like that

It's not considered safe in Britain and would fail an MOT (Ministry of Transport) test, which would make the car illegal to drive until it was repaired and did pass the test.

@fazer1k Are you 100% sure about that?

@SW-User It should fail - sharp edges that can injure someone aren't allowed as far as I'm aware. I'm not an MOT tester but I'm pretty sure, yes.

@fazer1k so poor people are out of luck I guess

@SW-User No, but they do have to maintain their cars to the required standard.

You are right, of course, that anything that costs money hits poorer people harder but Britain prioritises safety ahead of that.

Imagine that particular car parked next to a pavement (sidewalk to you 😉) - a child could rub against those sharp rusty edges and cause a nasty injury.
