| This has been thrashed out before, on this board and others.
Whilst it's possible to get a daylight MOT, in accordance with all the rules the DOT sets out for it's test stations, it doesn't make you "road legal".
The other rules that apply, the "use and construction" laws, are the ones that the police will play by and if the officer who pulls you knows his rule book you'll get a ticket.
The most obvious one that springs to mind is that you don't need a number plate on the bike if you've got the V5 and the chassis number ties in for an MOT. Go out on the road without one and you'll get a tug and fined for not displaying a plate.................
As well as contravening these rules, which could get you points and a fine, you'll probably find that your insurance will be null and void. More points and if you're involved in an accident, no cover.
I know it makes life easy, but IMO, it just ain't worth it. Lifes tough enough riding bikes in these times without give rise to more excuses to pull you over.
you pays ya money and takes your chance as they say.....................  |
