Your allowed to drive to a pre-booked mot and your also allowed to drive home afterwards or to a place of repair/scrapping.

Your friendly MOT tester,

And print it off & take it with you in the car. If the police stopped you & gives you a bollocking, show them the print out.

I would'nt bother, the road traffic pigs should know the law anyhows unlike the old beat bobby thats now retiring so he's working off his last few years behind the stations call desk, answering questions from people who have already been answered on here by people who do actualy know their job. The police in general when it comes to mot laws really are clueless...thats why Vosa work with them when they do those road side pull in checks.
