Default Reflector Question

Heya All

Quick question. I know that for an MOT you need a rear reflector, but as my MOT won't be for about 2.5 years I'm not too bothered.

BUT, will a policeman pull me for it or do me if I get pulled for something else?

I tried to find a stick on one in Halford but they didn't have any.

Drew

I haven't had a problem yet (touch wood), I plan to stick one onto my numberplate when it's MOT time.

I think if he starts to look at the rear of your bike then the updraft from your can will get his interest first!

I've been told on bikesafe the other day, "we've got more important things to do"
But if you're stopped for some other reason, that can add to the fine and it's a MOT failure.

I had a little hinged one from halfrauds that I could hinge back down if I was ever asked about it. Never was, not even at MOT
