Ian R Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Book it in for an Mot in immingham and you can drive it to the test centre if you catch my drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiversteve Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Did this once before, ran foul of a arsehole copper in Catford who decided to book me even though his station seargeant said he could find nothing I was doing wrong. All came out well in the end though. Yes book it for an MOT. IN WRITING and have a copy with you. It should be a garage nearest your home but I guess they will be lenient if its within 5 miles. Get an insurance cover note for the car. In theory the only time you can drive a car without Tax and MOT is going to or from a MOT test station. BUT beware. If the car has failed an MOT and you know about it and have not done any repairs a snotty pc could book you for driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition (assuming it has been driven away after a failure and is not on a test station forecourt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
