m o t is for a road worthy car but when they fail it for number plate bulb that flickers  :-/ :-/


That does at first glance seem petty, but it does indicate a fault that stops the registration plate being permanently illuminated, and possibly could quickly develop into a full 'no light' situation.  A police patrol will stop a vehicle with no illuminated plate as of course it is an offence under the Road Traffic Act.  The testers could therefore be prosecuted for passing a car with such a fault.  ;)
i agree with that/ but is that considerd a danger to any other road user  :-/ :-/

Yes in a way, as a non-illuminated plate at night can result in the criminally minded avoiding detection after committing an offence, say a serious accident that they have caused but escaped from, or say doing 80 in a 30 mph zone that the public can't report, and perhaps the police themselves cannot call in the reg. details for.  This could well result in the safety of the public being compromised.

Cars are illegal or not, it is a bit of a no brainer I afraid whether we like it or not :)
