Does anyone know for CERTAIN how the police view bikes with no lights at all?

I got stopped tonight and they said they were not sure whether it was legal or not. I told them about the mot and how I am not to use the bike at "times of seriously reduced visibility" - as it says on the mot advisory note.

They said something about how all bikes manufactured after 1989ish must have lights on them. And they thought I should at least have a brake light. I said that if I had a brake light, then I would also need to have all the other lights to pass the mot.

They are going to check it out and let me know. In the mean time I have to hand in my mot certificate and advisory note

Has this happened to anyone else?
