<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR>Why insist on checks for three-year-old cars?
</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->EVERY new car has a warranty period of at least three years and, in some cases, five. So why does the Land Transport Authority require owners of a three-year-old car to send it for an evaluation when new cars are already covered under manufacturer's warranty?
Companies like Vicom have it easy. For every car it tests, it charges $60 or so and all that the mechanic does is fiddle with the brakes and switch on the headlights.
It would make more sense if the evaluation is done once the car is five years old.
