Penaulty for no tax or insurance?

[chris-red]

Right I have only manage to put the plate on my bike today, currently it is insured but no tax or MoT I cannot find anywhere that will MoT my bike today. The bike is fine everything is kosher just no tax or MoT.


On the slight chance I did get pulled or riding it what would I get?

Not that I would ever parktake in illegal activities you understand.

TBH the chance is very low I reckon but the if you were caught the price would be high so based on that I wouldnt risk it but thats just me.

It does suck but imagine how you would feel after all this work on the bike and a few days off and you get caught riding illegally

(Your bike looks the sex by the way! )

They could make you phone and pay for insurance on the spot if there in a nice mood, but with no MOT also.. your looking for it to be taken off the road there and then, £400 odd fine for the no insurance, then the no MOT, then holding fee's, they then will probably also give you points on your licence.

Then you better have some cash for the bus home

ANPR's can catch you out easily, normally you see the vans parked up with camera's in, there just not for people speeding y'know, they will read your number plate and display if you have tax, MOT sometimes even insurance.

In terms of tax a report is made by the police to the DVLA that they have seen the vehicle used without tax. The DVLA then decide whether to fine you, charge back-tax, or whatever else they do.

Depending on the force or the officer, you might get a fixed penalty for no MOT, you might get reported there and then for it, or they might give you a producer and you get reported at the police statiion.

Whichever way, it's all grief that you don't need, you're increasingly likely to get caught with the advent of ANPR cameras, and I'd really really suggest you don't ride the bike until it's all legal.

TECHNICALLY the fuzz can do you for no insurance if you have no Mot as it deems the bike not in a roadworthy condition,
check the small print on the insurance policy, should you have a prang they WILL use it to get out of paying as the bike technically shouldnt have been on the road,
