For work I am currently legally driving on the UK public roads, with no tax disc, no MOT and no front numberplate. Lets see if anyone can work out how I am doing it...
1. You're driving a car on trade plates?
2. You're riding a motorbike on it's way to be MOTd at pre-booked appointment and tax is in the post?
3. You're riding a bicycle?0 -
Good try Jammin,
1. You're driving a car on trade plates? - It is not on trade plates
2. You're riding a motorbike on it's way to be MOTd at pre-booked appointment and tax is in the post? - It has 4 wheels, and does not need to have an MOT or Tax to be legally driven on the public highway
3. You're riding a bicycle? It has an engine
keep trying. I was dubious at first of driving it legally but I have been assured that I am within the law.Praying at the church of MSE should be compulsory!
