    My bet is, there's more to this than we've been told.

    Brand new poster, (or at least brand new account :rolleyes:), and not giving us the whole story? Who'd have thought ... :cool:

    Correction. The car should never have been driven from the private industrial estate without firts having obtained the road tax ;)

    If the MOT was pre-booked OP could have driven to the test centre and back.

    And have you noticed how, everyone of them always gets caught the first/only time they do something wrong?:rolleyes:

    ... I have now received court summons for 2 weeks time which will be a minimum fine of the £185 plus £61 court costs but could result in a max fine of £2500. ...

    Are you sure?

    The maximum penalty for this offence is £5000 and/or two years imprisonment.

    Don't forget your toothbrush! :D
