We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "dennis@home"
saying something like:

I did this for many years when I lived in a bus (which had insurance but
no tax.)
When eviction / site moving time came,
book an MOT,
go for MOT,
pass or fail,

You do understand the difference between driving a car with no MOT and
driving an MOT failure?
Check that your insurance is valid if you are driving an un-roadworthy
car.

the point .

Dennis, you've missed it, again.

The poster didn't actually say his old MoT had run out, did he?
You can get a vehicle MoTd as often as you like.

Its still an un-roadworthy car if it fails, or did you miss that?-


Is it? That would mean that if the car fails the MoT but has an
unexpired existing MoT it still cannot be driven on theroad. I
thougth there were two grades of fail for the MoT and only the more
serious one meant you could not drive it away.

In the old days there was a special red failure certificate for
"unsafe to drive on the road".
