Default Anyone else done this

Went to tax my car yesterday. Dug out the documents then realised I had an old MOT, or so it thought. Carried on digging through the folder then it dawned on me the first MOT cert i found expired in 2013..a month ago. first word i said to myself was FUCK.. no MOT and no tax, could have sworn the MOT ran till January !

Anyone else done the same?

I got pulled over years ago in my series 2 rs, at the time i was 22 and had that and a vectra gsi, I had been cleaning the rs at my dads where I kept it and decided to give it a 5 min blast round as was a nice day.

Blue lights come on pulled over gets in his cop car usual questions is it your car?

yes, whats your name address etc told him, who you insured with so i said Admiral.

Have you got any i.d on you so i said no which i dint was all on garage shelf my wallet etc.

stupid me gave him address i lived at not where cars registered to and told him my gsi insurance details not adrian flux for the rs.

he asked if i had tattos etc he honestly thought i was someone else he stopped me for no mot which I was unaware i realised what I had told him he then followed me half a mile to my dads and had a proper look around the car and was a nice copper
