MOT

[Aragorn]

does anyone know the max penalty for driving without an MOT

it ran out yestarday and my test is on monday :evil:

[General Baxter]

i would say alot, as your cars not road worthy with out one!

[Will]

just a fine

[Matt Nova]

?1000 mate not worth the risk mate

but you can drive it to a pre booked test legally

[Alex]

in reality if you are only a few days out you will probably get about a ?40 fine if anything. ?1000 fine can be given but im not sure if it ever has been

[Mike.]

i wouldn't do it mate its not worth the risk

[Aragorn]

hrm well it ran out on friday and test is booked for monday

i also have the fail sheet and have replaced the only thing it failed on which was the strut top mount

just driving 1-2miles to work and back really

[broody]

to be honest you could say you didnt realise it ran out and thought it was the end of the month, and say how much of an idiot you are for driving without an MOT, play dumb, and say you'll book it in for 2morow.

might say ok, might not, its risky.

the previous onwer of my car wrote the wrong date down on that sticker you got! daft sod. so i was on the raod without one for abt a week :oops:

[Philsutton]

i got caught driving without any mot about a year ago an not heard anything since

[Ian_Gsi16v]

?30 fine :lol:

If its booked in for a retest then your fine as long as the part at the bottom of the sheet hasnt been ticked where it says that the car is unsafe to drive.

I drove Dave's old silk violet GSi from Wallasey to Newport and was legal as i booked it in for an MOT but never turned up!

[BigRuss]

I've been done twice for no MOT over the years, ?25 fine the first time and ?40 fine the second. Both a few years ago now though.

grr it just failed again for the same damn thing :@

ive also been "informed" that without an MOT the car isnt insured so if i was to crash i'd be fucked - is this true??
