If you mean just sidelight/brake light with a clear lens over it, without the indicator function, that's fine AFAIK.

Thanks for the heads up on that but theres a lot of sports cans with "not for road use" out there too...does that stop people from using them?

Good comeback , but Plod can see this mod from miles away, they have to stop you to see if your can is stamped "Not for road use" etc.

Just another possible offence you could get a fine for IMO.

So its ok to have no indicators and have a daytime mot but not to have indicators too close? seems a little mad to me.

It's one of those cases that if you have them, they must work, and be legal spec.

You could have a daytime MOT with this mod, but you'd still be breaking C&U regs by riding it on the road with working indicator/tail light assembly.
