Probably, if you get spotted by a traffic warden or the fuzz. Try googling it or read the info on the DVLA website.

That'll really speed things up on the road, with broken down bangers blocking a lane every few hundred yards.
As somebody who drives a nineteen-year-old car, I very much want to have it tested at least once a year - not so much because I'm bothered about blocking the road (I have it serviced frequently, so that's only happened once in the seven years I've owned it) but because I want to be sure it's safe to drive.Comment
