MOT after May 20th?.
kevski:
These new regulations also apply to classic cars and do place an emphasis on owners to ensure their vehicles are in a roadworthy state. While an MoT certificate will no longer be compulsory, drivers and riders may still present their vehicles for a voluntary MoT test and it remains their responsibility to ensure that their vehicles have no defects that would see it fail the government tests when they take to the public roads.
And that will be the ball breaker, insurance companies will look for the slightest excuse not to pay out.
Woodside:
i get all the rule changes..but does anyone kmow if it is automtic or do you need a trip to the post office..to apply for a new taxation class
also does a bike/car need a current mot before the change to prove it exists...same applies to imported vehicles...as it stands the mot proves in a way to dvla it is real....
otherwise its going to be a free for all ...
hairygit:
Imported vehicles WILL still require an M.O.T. as part of the registration process. What REALLY scares me is the amount of scrap that will be put back on the roads, stuff people have kept in barns etc, and never bothered doing safety critical welding etc but can now put back on the road and sell on e-bay! Think Mk1 Escorts, rusty Cortinas/Capris etc! :o :o :o :'( :'( :'(

That applies every day to every vehicle now. If on the public road your vehicle must be roadworthy.
No change there.
