I've bought a car and I've booked in for MOT Monday morning but i'll be in work so I've arranged to drop it off Sunday night and drop the keys through the letter box. Now I know it's ok to drive a car to the MOT without tax or MOT so long as it's insured but will I be ok driving it the there night before?
TIA
-
It's pre-arranged so I would think so
-
in a word Pete Yes :y
-
as long as the car is booked into an mot centre and thats where your taking it then you should be ok..... :D
-
What are the chances of passing a copper anyway? ;)
It's a bit far for Jasonm to drive and his company BMW will have broken down before he makes it to Chester anyway ;D
-
Thanks everyone :y

Not really, seeing as I work for Cheshire Constabulary :D :D :D
You'll be fine Pete! ;)

I would say No, its ok for the Garage to say 'yea thats fine' but as far as Plod is concerned they would want to ring the Garage to confirm if stopped, so guessing no one is going to answer the phone on a Sunday Night, so you do run that risk and the consequences that Plod decide for you or the car.
If you was to ask, is it ok to drive the car to the Garage before they close a day before its booked in and the Garage is aware of this then yes.
Also as far as the DVLA is concerned, re Tax, technically your allowed on the road up to I hour before the MOT and up to 1 hour on the road from the MOT.

No. That's not what I meant. If you have the space, why not keep a car you like, esp. when you'll get next to nowt for it.

Ok. But I'm not selling a car, so a bit daft really. ::)

Sorry, bit tipsy when I typed that... ::) a couple more pints and what I typed makes sod all sense to me too... :-[
If you need two cars because either one cannot be relied on you might has well have two cars you like on the drive :y
So basically EP, STEMO is right, might as well keep the Omega "just in case" :y
