Riding Without Tax And An MOT

[squirrel_hunter]

How far can I go?

Need to get the bike MOTed and Taxed following its resurrection. Now I know its legal to ride the unMOTed unTaxed bike to the MOT station and then to get Tax provided I am insured (which I am) and provided the test is prebooked (which it will be), but how far am I allowed to ride it? The reason I ask is the bike is in Chippenham and the place I've been getting MOT's from for the past 5 years is in Swindon (about 30 miles, one junction up the M4) and I'd like to carry on using them...

[flak monkey]

You are allowed ONLY to ride to and from a booked MOT via the most direct route. You cant use it to collect the tax even.

[davepreston]

there is no stipulation on how far, ive done N.I to preston

[Milky Bar Kid]

Steve, there is no distance defined for it. As long as you go straight to the prebooked test.

what if the post office is on the way?

[Milky Bar Kid]

what if the post office is on the way?

Cant get tax until you get your MOT anyway...

[flak monkey]

Yes there's no distance stipulated. If you got pulled I dont know if it would wash though...

If you park it up to go and get the tax its an offence....technically.

My boss got done a couple of years ago whilst getting his new tax disc for no tax as his previous had runout. And no, he didnt get away with it...

Seriously is it worth it, just to use a certain MOT place?

[Bibio]

yes its worth it as i dont have to walk to the post office. i plan on mot and tax same day and this will be a saturday. then it's off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of ozz.

[P-J]

Hey dude how's tricks? Must catch up soonest!

Anyhow in answer to your question, if all is prebooked you will be fine! Get tax on the way home after MOT is done! it would take a very perdantic officer to do you it in Wiltshire unless they are Traffic having a bad day ;).

You've got the insurance, pre booked MOT and getting tax (revenue issue not really a police issue) on the way home, no drama's

[squirrel_hunter]

Steve, there is no distance defined for it. As long as you go straight to the prebooked test.

Thanks. But when I get pulled expect a phone call from the arresting officer...

Seriously is it worth it, just to use a certain MOT place?

I see what you're saying but so long as its legal I'd like to. The place I use is a small independent, I've always had good service from them in the past so I'd like to repay the favor.

[Milky Bar Kid]

Ok, I am going to shout now...

YOU CANNOT GET TAX FROM THE POST OFFICE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A VALID MOT CERTIFICATE IN YOUR HAND!!!

[Milky Bar Kid]

Thanks. But when I get pulled expect a phone call from the arresting officer...

haha! You have my number! Seriously though, I need to go 30 miles to get to anywhere that does MOT testing for bikes anyway. There isn't an issue providing you go straight there and you have the test booked!

[Bibio]

Ok, I am going to shout now...

YOU CANNOT GET TAX FROM THE POST OFFICE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A VALID MOT CERTIFICATE IN YOUR HAND!!!

calm down dear. i will be going to the MOT station FIRST. get it? understand now?

yup doing a milky is definitely a catch phrase lol

[Milky Bar Kid]

calm down dear. i will be going to the MOT station FIRST. get it? understand now?

yup doing a milky is definitely a catch phrase lol


Sorry but I think you will find you are doing the MBK here. It will hardly be an offence to get tax on your way back if you have already passed the test...will it now???

[Bibio]

dont know what ever gave you the idea i would not get the bike MOT'd first. or do you think i'm dumb....

[Milky Bar Kid]

You are allowed ONLY to ride to and from a booked MOT via the most direct route. You cant use it to collect the tax even.

This Bib!

[Matts-Yokes]

Lets face it all coppers are naughty so if they dont get you for the tax they will measure your number plate, check the exhaust, check the tyres, check your visor, call you sonny even tho' they look 5 years old and then phone the station as other coppers are the only ones who give a toss what they spout anyway

[Bibio]

home. thought that would be obvious lol

why would i want to go to the post office without an MOT? they would just look at me with that funny look they give stupid people.

Best name I have come across is Annie Swallows....

[cbay]

You can go as far as you like to an MOT station aslong as its pre-booked but make sure you have enough fuel. Don't stop for food or drink...

Here's an idea, whilst they are MOT 'in it! Find the local post office and then you can get the certificate and pop down there on foot or jump in a cab, get the tax and then make your way bk to the MOT place, I'm sure they won't mind looking after it for 15mins. :-)

[Bluepete]

Guy at work called Stuart got the nickname Pid. He never twigged...

I'm sure you can only ride with no MOT if your going to and from your test station. Tax is easy and can be done online as your probably aware, you will be able to print off a receipt until your disc returns. You don't need MOT to book TAX, well I didn't when I had a similar situation to your self with my car.

[-Ralph-]

Yes there's no distance stipulated. If you got pulled I dont know if it would wash though...

Thanks. But when I get pulled expect a phone call from the arresting officer...

Doesn't matter if it washes with the arresting officer or not, they only have the power to report you, not convict you. Let them write the ticket, say your good-byes, then when you get home tick the little box on the back that indicates you'd like to have it heard in court. If the law stipulates no distance restriction quite clearly in black and white, then a simple letter will sort it, and you'd hope the copper would get some retraining.

You can go wherever you like when returning from an MOT providing you passed. And you require to have a valid MOT and Insurance to get tax. The problem with doing it online is that the database may not be updated quick enough and won't allow you to order your tax so you would be as well going to post office with the certificate in your hand that day.

I realise that, but Steve is the OP questioning if he can get away with riding that distance. I'm simply pointing out that what the copper thinks about it actually doesn't matter. And Flak Monkey?

[Milky Bar Kid]

Pathetic...(does this apply to all cops, or just cops of Bluepetes variety...teehee)
Obnoxious...doubt there will be anyone on here more obnoxious than you Mr Yokes...
Lazy....I generally do my work on time and when I am paid for it..again, can same be said for you Mr Yokes??
Ignorant...your post says it all...
Egomaniacs...I'm not conceited nor am I self-centered...sure Bluepete is though...

And I have a fitness test every 6 months....mind you...dunno if Pete will pass with all those doughnuts he sits and eats!!

Are you not technically leaving the vehicle untaxed on the road while you go in post office?

I know it would be a right c*** to actually do you for that as you walk out, tax disc and docs in hand, but technically?

What an interesting way to do business.
I might try that myself, next time someone sends me some forks I'll just sh*t in them and send them a bill. That'll be good for repeat custom :)

By the way does anyone know if Mr Yokes is self employed or what? I'm sure any business partners or employers he may have would be interested to note his advertising practices for their no doubt significant investment :-P

Thanks for your concern Yorkie but Mr Yokes's company is all bought and paid for, he dont do credit!

If you cant afford it you shouldnt have it thats our motto!

Thats why the world is in deepest do do, because 99% of the population borrows money and then whinges to debt agencies when they cant pay it back - its not rocket science and funnily enough - "they get what they cant pay for"

This is the only forum I've ever been an active posting member of, other forums are just for information and advice as and when I need it, so trolling is still a bit of a mystery to me to be honest, I'm sure it's a LOT worse on other forums. I have done a bit of trolling in my time on this forum, but only where the member I was targeting deserved a bit of their own medicine for their own trolling antics. I've come to the conclusion that they are more to be pitied than scolded. There really is something missing out of a persons life if they need to get amusement and kicks winding up people they don't know and have never met over the internet. Must remind myself how lucky I am next time I am laughing with my family and friends, or pee'ing myself at something my 3 year old has just come out with.

I actually have no problem with anyone on here, im sure they are all great people, i wouldnt say i troll as i actually normally post reasonable informative comments but when certain forum members decide its time to "have a laugh" then i "have a laugh" back. Unfortunately they cant take it and get all offended which makes it funny that they can be so sensitive.

This is not my life, its a bit of fun while i have a brew! If this is their life (by the amount of posts some make, it must be) then i truly am very sad for them! :( as this smiley proves :lol:

Holy moly some people on here have thousands of posts.......Is this all they do all day, Im so sad for them.

[Matts-Yokes]

Ooh, robot has stopped must go and add another bit of alooomeeeenium to make into something, maybe a big happy face to cheer everyone up thats sad and in debt!

[Matts-Yokes]

Brew finished now, back to work! Hi Ho.....Hi Ho.......Hi Ho, its off to work we go..........we love disney!

[Matts-Yokes]

Im trying to get to 150 posts, im getting left behind by the many on here but i dont spend all day looking at a pooter screen, my time is more precious than that. I love my job!

Can we get this thread back on topic now please ?

[Bibio]

well done fizzy.

wonder how many times i will get pulled by the boys/girls in blue when i get my bike mot'd and taxed due to ANPR? or is it that advanced and up to date that it will know i have done it.

this will be done on a saturday just before post office closes.

[tom-k6]

i think it takes about a few hours from when you buy over the counter to when ANPR gets updated, i got pulled once and i had literally just bought my tax and gone out about half hour after buying it. took 15 minutes on bike to get pulled in Erdington, showed them the tax disc and receipt and they just left it at that, saying the system hadnt updated yet
