  1. Here you go then. This piece of Legislation can be quoted as fact. Unless, of course, you argue that "submitting" the vehicle for a test doesn't mean driving it directly to the testing station. Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 22(1)A vehicle is an exempt vehicle when it is being used solely for the purpose of— (a)submitting it (by previous arrangement for a specified time on a specified date) for a compulsory test, or (b)bringing it away from any such test or check.
  2. Better tell the boys in blue that they are misinterpreting the legislation. The following is a direct quote from the Ask the Police website.
  3. Being "booked in" is NOT sufficient. You may only drive with an expired MOT if you are driving directly to a pre-booked appointment with the garage/workshop that is going to carry out the new MOT test.
  4. Before you do anything, please read the following rules: https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk/temporary-imports
  5. Strongly suggest that you edit your post to remove the ticket number.
  6. OK. Now relax, have a glass of wine (or 2) and come back here for more advice after you have received their reply.
  7. They must follow procedures regarding time-frames to provide you with a valid POPLA code. Always best to to have proof of posting (or recorded delivery) and keep copies of everything you send them. Just wait for their reply
  8. Looks good to me. Now they know that you will defend your position. Just relax, wait for their reply and come back here for advice on how to proceed. Don't be intimidated and above all, don't worry. Look here: http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/
  9. Try this link: http://www.basis-reg.com/media/documents/SI_CDG_a_Quick_Guide.pdf Ethanol is Transport Category 2 (Medium Risk). HTH
  10. The period of grace allowed after tax renewal (online) is 14 days and not 5.
  11. In your case, a ban is highly likely. Your alleged speed was 66% over the posted limit. The length of the ban can vary between 7 and 56 days but could be longer if you already have points on your licence. You cannot get a ban AND points. The fine can be up to £1,000 (or £2,500 if the offence took place on a motorway).
  12. I hope you realise that if "your friend" says that he was driving, he leaves himself open to a charge of perverting the course of justice and spending some time in the slammer. This applies to him AND the person who allowed it to happen. i.e. You
  13. If you add what you have just posted, you have effectively admitted to being the driver. Read post #31 from ericsbrother and let us know when you received each letter. This is important.
  14. There are a few companies that specialise in providing insurance for learner drivers and young people who have just passed their driving test. I have provided a link to one such company. To avoid any possible adverse comments; I have no interest (financial or otherwise) in the said company. I think you may be pleasantly surprised. http://www.wearemarmalade.co.uk/
  15. Where did they get your details from then? Are you also the reg keeper?
  16. The owners of the building are required to have Public Liability Insurance which should cover the damage to your daughter's vehicle.
  17. What the other driver claims is physically impossible. The keep clear box is only marked in the left-hand land lane. If you were passing a 7.5 ton lorry that was stationary immediately before the keep clear box, there was no way you could have been in the box when you were hit by the other vehicle. There were no warning signs that a keep clear box was present and there is actually no requirement for any to be in place. In fact, the 7.5 ton lorry would have prevented you from seeing that there WAS a keep clear box immediately in front of him. You were not overtaking. You were simply passing what you assumed to be a stationary vehicle. If there was no oncoming traffic and you were driving slowly, it was not unsafe. The other driver emerged from a side opening onto a main road without taking effective observations. He should have waited until he was satisfied that there was no traffic approaching from his right hand side. In other words, waited until the stationary vehicles had passed through the box.
  18. Here is another link from the "Ask the Police" website for you: https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q332.htm
  19. I think you misheard what he said. Seatbelt offences are non "endorsable". I.e. NO points.
  20. Did they say what "evidence" they have? As far as I am aware, that car park uses a telephone system to register that you are parking and no ANPR. Just re checked. Seems like they might have ANPR - sorry for any confusion
