Is that advice from the seventies Seriously though mate someone (twat) told me the law had changed and it had to be on a trailer bike or car
It's not a grey area as it's in black and white on the .gov.uk website. In addition the vehicle MUST be insured. https://www.gov.uk/getting-an-mot
So, I interpret this as being allowed to ride it home, if that’s where it will be repaired. I feel sure something will need repair after 10 years standing. Ken.
That's what it says on the website, you CAN drive it to an MOT station for testing. I wouldn't chance riding it home though, that's not the same as riding it to a garage where it's been booked in for repairs. I reckon you'd get nicked for that but I guess it's down to the individual how far they want to stretch the rules.
It’s expected that the testing station will do the repairs if needed. If your booked in at a garage for repairs then it’s obviously not fit to use, if on the other hand your booked for an mot then it’s not necessarily unroadworthy but just not tested at that present time. Does that make more sense?
If the mot is out a month fair dos but if it hasn't had an mot for ten years I'm sure you could get nicked for using a dangerous vehicle pre booked mot or not
Yes you can if the bike is deemed dangerous to an officer. But it is down to the user to ensure the said vechile is road worthy as in tyres brakes and electrics. Regards Joe.
It all gets a bit daft when you realise many old vehicles don't even need an MOT... https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...toric-classic-vehicles-mot-exemption-criteria
Rode the Behemoth home yesterday, and boy does it make my R9T feel like a middle weight. Couple a pics of what it really looks like. Cheers,Ken.
