HORT/1 - what needs producing?

OH just got pulled for speeding on the M4 :mad: :mad:

Normal 3 points, £60 fine, and a producer for 7 days.

Trouble is, we live at one end of the M4 and work at the other, and have 2 houses. I can't remember for the life of me where the MOT cert is for the car. Do you still have to produce these, or is the electronic info the police have access to enough?

(we're off on holiday in 10 days - as if i don't have enough to deal with. :rolleyes: mind you, it could have been worse - I was on the M4 last night in the evo ;) :eek: )

    That's what I thought. Bu99er. His last one was in 2004 and he had to produce them then, just wasn't sure if it had changed now with the insurance and MOT info being available.

    He's not home yet (probably crawling the last 50 miles of the M4 :rotfl: ), so I can't see what it says.

    He's home. HORT/1s are completely different now - and he only has to produce his 2 part licence. Copper checked MOT and insurance over the radio.

    I suppose that's something :rolleyes:

    You'd think they would be able to do the licence check aswell.

    They can, but the Police have to send away the licence to get the points put on it.
