    Having no front or rear lights and having a daylight mot is much more of a laugh than a few bulbs out on the speedo, don't you think?
    Or doing a Fred Flintstone down the road because holes aren't within 12" of prescribed area (and can't use general condition unless car sags in middle when you sit in it/stand on sill? ?
    Or ripping out windscreen because wipers have packed up?
    Etc etc.....

    Fair do's Justin.

    Just out of interest - how many folks actually have a daylight MOT.

    I had one on a motorcycle, they are not uncommon. It was a road legal scrambler, road legal quads, track bikes, Trials bikes etc. sometimes have them.

    I did type out maybe grasstrack or rallying, but A the site crashed and B I figured they'd often be on a trailer!
    At least we know they have been issued now :)

    My mate had one on a KTM trial bike last year, even though it had a daylight MOT apparently it was legal with the bolt on light pack to drive it at night, you just took it off again for the MOT, but if you have a standard MOT you cant ride without the lights mounted on your way to practice etc.
