Ok.....get this.........a motorist was stopped by Greater Manchester Police on the way to a prebooked MOT test.......his MOT had expired but like everyone else includeing me he knew it was legal to take his car to a prebooked MOT .
He gets pulled for no MOT .......he then gets informed without a valid MOT his car insurance was void and his car was then siezed for no insurance
Now before anyone breaks a leg trying to prove this cant have happened , I got this straight from the DVSA.........So anyone thinking of attending a prebooked MOT take a minute or two to make sure you're insured to drive to a testing station without a current certificate.......plod is watching
I dont need to read them , I am an MOT tester,
No one can stop you from taking your vehicleRegardless of what you do for a job, the rules are laid out in the Gov website.

There is no tester in the land that would “stop” me taking my vehicle away for repair. It’s my vehicle and my right to choose who repairs it, where it is repaired, and when it is repaired.
No one can stop you from taking your vehicle
The point I was making regarding the rules etc is..........As an MOT tester I get my "rules" direct from the DVSA which are up to date , not from the internet GOV website ( which to be fair I haven't looked at) , I'm just passing on whats been explained to me by the DVSA.........you of course are entitled to ignore them
Well .....I've just read enough of the GOV website to see why you and other people are confused.........and now so am I , so all I can do as a tester is follow what I've been told etc....... ( ****ed if I know emote) LOLI couldn’t find any details from the DVSA, so quoted what I could find. If the “rules” aren’t readily available for public viewing, how can we follow/adhere to them?
I’m not trying to be a dick here, I’m curious to know whos singing from which song sheet? Shouldn’t we all be on the same page?
