Be very careful when giving out advice for things like this.
I am sorry to say that you have either not read, or have read and misunderstood the legislation involved.
Once again,people are mistaking the MOT requirements with what is necessary for a vehicle to be roadworthy.
The contents of Table 2 of Schedule 1 of the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989 are what you need to read and comply with.
Front position lamp - Schedule 2: Part I - A solo motor bicycle fitted with a headlamp is exempt from fitting.
Dipped-beam headlamp - Schedule 4: Part I A vehicle first used before 1st January 1931 is exempt.
Main-beam headlamp - Schedule 5: Part I - the following exemptions apply -
A vehicle having a maximum speed not exceeding 25 mph;
A vehicle first used before 1st January 1972 and having an engine with a capacity of less than 50 cc;
A vehicle first used before 1st January 1931.
Direction indicator - Schedule 7: Part I the following exemptions apply -
A vehicle having a maximum speed not exceeding 25 mph;
A vehicle first used before 1st April 1986;
A vehicle which is constructed or adapted primarily for use off roads (whether by reason of its tyres, suspension, ground clearance or otherwise) and which can carry only one person or which, in the case of a motor bicycle combination, can carry only the rider and one passenger in the sidecar.
Rear position lamp - Schedule 10: Part I - exemptions- None.
Stop lamp - Schedule 12: Part I - the following exemptions apply
A vehicle having a maximum speed not exceeding 25 mph;
A vehicle first used before 1st April 1986 and having an engine with a capacity of less than 50 cc;
A vehicle first used before 1st January 1936.
Rear registration plate lamp - Schedule 15 - exemptions - A vehicle not required to be fitted with a rear registration plate.
Rear retro reflector - Schedule 18: Part I - exemptions - None.
( The part where it mentions off road vehicles relates to trials / motocross type bikes only and not to road bikes which are mainly used on a race track. )
This is the legal standard you would have to meet if going to court - a daylight MOT is not worth the paper it's written on if it is produced to a cop who knows traffic law.
There was a lengthy debate on this a while ago ( hence my initial comments ) but it seems to have gone awol as I can no longer find it on the search utility.  |
