another way it wouldnt be fair is the people who do not work would get a truely free MOT, those who do work would pay for their MOT and for the bums MOT as well. i think the workers carry the wasters more than enough already dont you?
the best option is to have nothing at all for free, no benefits, no council housing, not even a health service or pension. then you have real motivation to do well in life, or at least work full time and not have half a dozen kids. people are then forced to act responsibly, which is good for the economy and society.
in the uk you can do whatever you want, it doesnt matter because there are no real consequences. the state will always look after you even if you cant be arsed to work and fancy a life sitting on the sofa watching tv stoned out your mind. wtf is that all about?!
