A friend of mine (No it’s not me ) has been given a seven days producer and has realized his MOT has expired in August.. what normally happens wit stuff like this is it points or a fine?

Cheers

 

Im sure its just a fine.

 

A fine

If he knows someone in the know back dated

 

p.s. not that i agree with stuff like that as an MOT is obviously a Very important thing..

 

well driving with no MOT invalidates insurance as well... and thats points im afraid might be lucky, guess will just have to see what kind of day the judge is having

 

Depends on the mood of the old bill at the time. I would advise your friend to get it MOT'd before he/she goes to hand their documents in so they have something to show, then try and sweet talk their way out of it. At worst, points and fine, at best, a ticking off. I just hope your friend is good looking

 

first time they give you a rollocking in a letter which says something like this:

"blahblahblah road traffic act whatever date, construction and use regulations balh blah blah, it is an offence to use a vehicle with no mot blah blah blah could lead to prosecution blah blah blah.

however, as we value public support in policing the community, we will not be prosecuting on this occasion, but further offences of this criteria may lead to a court appearance blah blah blah"


been there done that with the letter. lol

 

Just a fine.

Know a lad who works in the courts and according to him it is only a fine you recieve.

 

Why not just get an MOT done currently so by the time he/she goes down to the station it is only a few days old? Am I missing something there?

 

Right.....speaking from experience here - so believe me! LOL! Tell him to go & get an MOT straight away & take that with him together with the expired MOT - be completely honest with them & make sure he tells them that he had not realised it had expired - you'll prob find that they'll let him off (as long as it aint months & months out of date!) - because you dont get a reminder about your MOT so people often forget apparently!

I got told this by the local police when myself & a friend tried to 'avoid' getting into bother!!

 

This happened to one of my mates, he had to go to court, 3 points and about a 300quid fine if i remember correctly

 

saff cossie

the dates will not tie up for the offence and for the new MOT cert. hence, not valid

whats a few days tho hey

 

well its none a endorsable offence and as for the invalid insurance my mate got done from driving with out a licence and as he had insurance they never done him for that even though he never had L plates on and no passengers with him

he was sent to court for no insurance and no licence but got 3 points for no licence and they canceled the no insurance charge as he did have some

oh and a back dated mot will be checked when he produces and if hes "doctored "it or got a mate to write one in a mot book after when the old bill ask for proof for court he will get done for fraud

thats why i spent sooo long trying to MOT my orion as no fooker wants to take the risks anymore as the MOT bosses are alot more strict

but it deffo is just a fine

 

Taken from an official police website........

NO INSURANCE £200 fine plus 6 penalty points
NO MOT £60 fine
FAILING TO DISPLAY CORRECT VED £60 fine

 

b19 bal

a back dated mot.. why will the old bill question this?? As far as they are aware, the bloke has come down to the station to produce, and he has a valid MOT Cert

 

Yes i was the friend having no MOT

Dont back date it like i tryed to do, i then find out by a mate he can get MOT's for £12

Touch wood me & Lee aint heard nothing & that happened last Oct/Nov.

As Lee said, just got the car MOT'd straight away & plead guilty for doing wrong. As long as the lad has not had any previous, he should be ok.

Hope all gets sorted mate.

 

Doh!! Knew I forgot the offence date! A bottle of wine is impairing my judgement!

 

Be careful here because if the police sniff anything dodgy with the MOT they will not hesitate to phone the garage where the MOT was issued - either whilst you are there or after its been passed to the officer who is dealing with the issue....trust me I know!!!

 

wow what a response, thanks guys.

I will pass on all the comments

 

this makes me sound like I think these are a good thing, just need to reliterate that I do not condone dodgy MOT's.. especially on cars like ours


Saff Cossie, thought... bit early for wine Then realised you lucky man take it, its another fine evening in OZ right now lol

 

because when ya priduce they dont just say thankyou and leave it there, what they do is send it out to be processed and if its not genuine ( remember the MOT garages have to send the MOT boss place the copys of the old MOT's they do to prove theres nothing wrong a few days will; be fine but a few months is not gonna work, trust me on this one

then what happens is 6 months down the line ya get a sumons for court to appear but ya could worse way be done for fraud, i know that the most comon way it when people doctor one and then produce with that and get done for a criminal offence and not a gerneral magistrates fine and fook off type offence

with out meaning to sound all high and mighty but scams like this me and my mates used to do all the time, hence why now days all my mates have a valid insurance as the old bill know if ya insured or nit by the computers fitted in the car as it tells em to tug ya

its just a 60 quid fine though


PS. no insurance is not a 200 quid fine at all, its at the discretion of the court as i got a 100 quid fine for not having valid insurance as my poilcy never had the turbo engine declared and they fined me 100 quid and gave me 6 points , but the upside was the newer quote for the turbo engine went from 1200 quid for the year to 3 grand

so even though i got points i saved money being dodgy , fair world we live in aint it

 

MOTs for 12 quid

 

fair one b19 bal

I didnt realise they followed it up..

 

Not such a nice evening weather wise but hit 33 in Melbourne today. Missus' parents own a vineyard so we have boxes of the stuff to get through before it corks! Not bad at all though

 

ahhh the hard life

 

qualitaaayy!!

Wine, warm weather, and in a nice country I soooooooooo want to be there

but instead, im drinking tea, in a cold place

anyway.. mot's

 

MOT's? lol we don't have them prolly y there's some right snotters driving round
