00:00Fix them straight away, just get it all done while you're there. It's the way to go, people.

00:05Absolutely.

00:08I tend to fix it within the first months of any advisory stuff,

00:12because it tends to be brake pads because I brake too late.

00:15But no, I think there should be checks on it. You can't wait a whole another year for that,

00:18because I think there's just so much risk for...

00:20There's too many cars on the road and everyone's so busy.

00:23Yeah, you forget about things, so you should always get it done.

00:26Well, an advisory is an advisory, so I think it depends on what the advisory is,

00:31and if it's probably going to lead to more major damage, I would.

00:34But if it's a cracked bumper, you'd probably just leave it, wouldn't you?

00:38If you were going to enforce it, you'd have to have, I guess, I don't know,

00:43an additional thing on the advisory, wouldn't you, of how important it is,

00:46and how long it should be, and I imagine enforcing it will be an absolute nightmare to do.

00:52But yeah, you don't want people driving around in unsafe cars,

00:56because you're going to endanger the people on you.
