I have just read this on another forum.

there was a very serious crash in London very recently involving 2, 8 seater minibuses , in one of these minibuses was a very prominent MP,s daughter and family and friends , there were some serious injury's and now said MP and friends are really kicking up a fuss. The MP in question has support and the DfT and VOSA are commissioning a review on all vehicles that carry above 5 passengers, its a very serious matter, so serious that the DfT have jumped straight on to it.

Anyone have any info on this?

Nope.

And I would probably have heard about it from two angles. :wink:

If it did occur, it wasn't a serious RTA.

That sounds like the sort of story certain left wing elements within the trade might invent

Any serious accident would firstly be investigated by the police not vosa and the DFT and secondly Vosa set the standards for testing of vehicles so they would not be impartial if such an investigation was to question those standards surely
