I agree totally Andy - as long as the unfortunate driver was uninjured, that's the main thing.

Let's hope the driver was insured, because there is no lawful reason to road test a car either before or after an mot test.

the film used a custom built replica that was drivable as it was too expensive to use a real one, and i believe the one that reversed through the garage was a very basic replica (rough shell on a similar sized chassis)

A bit like the Daily Mail story about some bloke having the same car (replica, cost £28K) as Chris Evans (original, £12 Million), only similarities are they are both red sports cars, see - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2974155/Car-nut-has-Ferrari-just-like-the-one-Chris-Evans-bought-for-12m.html

Interesting point, the garage may not take responsibility if not a legitimate ' Test Drive'..... ;D
