I apologize, I should have been more clear in my post. I was attempting to say that Aren did indeed say they were tested but did not provide the testing means.

He has now provided the details that were missing.

He was then told "break these" and came back after several hours of driving with the rubber worn off the rollers, no broken tabs.
