Why? The law allows to you drive to a pre booked mot without one in force.

Er, if it's not insured, yes. But they don't normally act just for non-tax/SORN. However they would report the matter to the DVLA who will then (or should) deal with it accordingly. My guess is that if the OP reports it to the police, he/she will get the usual "it's not a police matter" response.

Like I said, the police will have it off him if they catch him driving without tax. He ain't had any in a while.

Well apart from that-if it can be proved obviously.

I don't mind being a grass if someone is breaking the law deliberately.

Surely this is the answer to your question: the law is being deliberately broken, so report it (I don't like the term "grass" as it implies you are doing something unacceptable, which is not the case).

that's not definite tho is it?
My own policy states the insurers can declare the policy null and void if I fail to have a valid MOT "if required"
ASFAIK the only exception to use on a public road is travel to a MOT testing station for an MOT so possibly once a year?

Yes, I agree. Thank you.
Unfortunately not everyone has the same view.
