Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

DURING the past year the Vehicle Builders and Repairers Association has "exercised much concern" over the problem of malpractices associated with write-off vehicles. Following discussions on this subject, the Ministry of Transport has declared its readiness to "examine the position most carefully with a view to introducing legislation designed to meet this vexed situation."

This is stated in the annual report of Mr. A. L. Sunderland, general secretary of the V.B.R.A., which is to be presented at the annual general meeting in June. The Association's conference and a.g.m. is to be held in Rothesay from June 12-15.

The V.B.R.A. feels that the log books of written-off vehicles should be withdrawn until the rebuilt vehicle has been subjected to reregistration and inspection by an approved examiner.

The Association's "strong representations" were made in the interests of road safety.
