I want to know I had police flash me, it was one with Anpr camera should i be expecting a mot fine through the post or do the police have to stop you and give you fine on the spot. They didn't stop me as I think they were in a rush to an accident, so will the fitted Anpr on the cop car report me to Dvla and will I get a fine through thr post. Any help would be great thanks guys. Or does it have to be a Fitted Anpr camera on the roadside to catch u and post the fine.

I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -
I suggest you get it MOT'd as soon as you can, there are fixed ANPR cameras all over the place, as well as in police vehicles, the DVLA will know your MOT has run out and eventually you will ping up and get stopped.I want to know I had police flash me, it was one with Anpr camera should i be expecting a mot fine through the post or do the police have to stop you and give you fine on the spot.

The fine can be from £60 to £1000 and you could be driving a lethal weapon that could injure you or someone else!:(
Sounds like you have been lucky so far, but in my opinion hopefully if you carry on being stupid you will get stopped!0 -

And having no MOT will probably invalidate your insurance.

Not having an MOT does NOT invalidate your insurance.
This has been confirmed on here thousands upon thousands of times.....make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

You have all the advice you need.
The fact that you were not stopped at the time may mean that you are off the hook but doesn't provide you with a get out of jail card for next time. That you were "pinged" and that will have been recorded onboard may mean that you get a knock on the door or they sit up and wait for you to drive to work/college/whatever.
So, getting an MOT as soon as possible - and before there is a knock at the door - will prevent the vehicle being impounded (if you are stopped) even if it doesn't stop you being dealt with for the previous offence.
You may legally drive the vehicle on the road if on your way to or from a pre-arranged MOT test - the emphasis being on the word pre-arranged. Going to a drive-in MOT centre where no appointments are necessary doesn't count as pre-arranged especially if you aren't on an obvious route from your home to the test centre.
Parking the vehicle on a road - even if you aren't driving it - is still "using" so keep the vehicle parked offroad if you still don't have an MOT.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -

This is just scaremongering.
Being stopped or caught with no MOT does not mean your car is impounded!
(Only if it is unroadworthy would impounding come into it - and that would happen whether or not there is an MOT in place!)0 -
Most Insurance policies state quite clearly that having no MOT will invalidate a policy. If you're lucky the policy may provide minimum third party cover. If you're not so lucky, and the claim's engineer decides that an accident was a direct result of not having a valid MOT, then you can expect a refusal to pay out.Not having an MOT does NOT invalidate your insurance.

Here's just one UK Insurance company that spells out the situation quite clearly:

Personally, I suspect the odds are in favour of the Insurance Company if one plays Insurance Russian Roulette!'People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.'

The Insurance Ombudsman sees things differently.
Lets face it, insurance companies would quite happily refuse a claim because the day of the accident had a Y in it. That doesn't mean it's legal.0
