No MOT but police producer??

[Jamrock]

I was an idiot last night and decided to ride to my girlfriends house, even though the MOT on my bike ran out recently. Surprise Surprise the first time I get pulled over because claims that I was 'speeding' in a 30 which I knew I wasn't but the copper just said let me check your registration and I'll let you be on your way. So he checked the bike out and obviously it showed up as no MOT, don't know why but I lied and said that I got the MOT on Tuesday so maybe it's not on the database.

So I have to go to the police station in 7 days with proof of MOT. Now my question is can I go get an MOT on Monday and then go to the police station with proof? or will they notice?

Any ideas would be very helpful.

Yes they will notice seeing as the dates wont match!

Is just a fine i think for no mot

*sigh* the only disclaimer on the insurance will be that you have a valid licence. No MoT will not see you getting reported for no insurance.

Whether your insurance company try and get costs back from you, or only pay TP costs is another matter.
I have actually known them cover somebody who only had a provisional licence and was driving alone.

mate i got pulled for no mot on my CG and i was straight up with the copper! I said i was training to be a nurse and i just havent had time to get it done!

He told me he could of give me a fine of £60 on the spot but didnt and told me to get a MOT booked the next day and not ride again untill its MOT's

he also warned me that he wouldnt forget me nor the fact he has let me off so lightly haha

I got the bike mot'ed the next day and it passed!

Just checked my insurance docs and couldn't find anything on MOT.

Surprised to say the least! Would have thought there would be a common law standard already set that the insurance companies would use to avoid pay outs.

I'm thinking I just get it MOT'd on Monday then take the documents in on Thursday, if they say the dates don't match up I'll just say I didn't know the MOT had expired until the officer told me and I accept any fines they want to throw at me.

I've had producer in car when mot had run out when I was younger.

Just got the mot done, went to copshop to produce and just said I didn't realise it had ran out, but once I had, got the mot done. They just let me off with no fine or anything.

In fact, been out today on bike with no mot, found out yesterday it ran out last week, and couldn't get it booked in yesterday. It's booked in for next week.

personally I think driving/riding without mot is far less serious than without insurance or road tax. If it was so serious, they would have set up a reminder system like the road tax by now.
