    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...
    Can I have three guesses? :D

    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?

    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.

    You drive a disability vehicle? (no road tax and under 3 years old therefore no MOT) ?

    Not a clue about the number plate though :confused:

    it isnt a disability vehicle, lawn mower and it is not a tractor. It is a 2004 Ford Ranger

    Another clue??

    Is it a boat on wheels? Like the Duck Tours thing they have in Singapore?

    I've got it! The car's not registered in the UK, hence no UK tax / MOT?
