Riding Without Tax And An MOT

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 don't need MOT to book TAX, well I didn't when I had a similar situation to your self with my car.

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?

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?

Yeh, you probably are but I doubt for one minute that would go anywhere, even if you did get a ticket!!
