No, bias car be rearward with standard brakes before they have bedded in properly. It's fine if you have an early morning drive to the IVA centre and plenty of time to work the brakes before the test, not so good if your trailering your car to IVA with brand new brakes. Having seen a few IVAs there is always assistance needed to achieve a pass especially with emissions. If we are going to stick to designing a Caterham to pass without this type of assistance the changes would be significant. This isn't about safety, if it was the inspectors wouldn't allow it, that much is obvious when you observe the process. The inspectors also aren't stupid, they have seen the same steering wheel hundreds of times, and know it's going to be changed as soon as the test is over. It's the same with MOT inspections, they won't risk their license.
