    I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

          If you can't get an MOT done before you need the car for work next, hire a car or take the train.
          There's no points for no MOT - just a fine. It's a slap on the wrist offence, really if the car is otherwise roadworthy.

                IIRC it's just a civil offence.

                  As far as I know, all motoring penalties are for criminal offences, but many of them are non recordable. Curiously, I had to go to Crown Court for a motoring offence (Long story) - it's now on my criminal record, but wouldn't have been if the same offence had been dealt with by a Police Officer at the side of the road.

                      Yep. Its fixed penalty.

                      Same as for having a dodgy numberplate. Fine but no points.

                      Mrs had one a while back. Thought her classic black/grey mini looked nicer with black plates on but of course you can only use these on cars older than a certain year (hers wasnt).

                      Stroppy copper. £60.

                      Bit harsh I thought considering the state of both cars and numberplates some of the local young scrotes drive around in. Could have warned her and got her to change.
