I actually still had a valid mot which would expire on January first. Bad day hey, so i decided to do it before such awkward date which im entitled to by law, my car was sorn at the time and fully insured, im a driving instructor and have two cars on the road, my wife has a car and my son a car all at the same address all fully legal, the car that was clamped is our family 7 seater which we use for our holidays , hence i had it sorn for 2 months, on the day in question i simply moved my car off my driveway, on to the road in front of my house 1 foot from our driveway foot path, so that i could park another of our cars in the drive way, i did this whilst also trying to purchase road tax on the internet, as far as i was concerned i had a pre booked mot so how on earth am i actually braking the law by going on to the road for a few minutes ? if im braking the law then any one would brake the law if they stopped at a red light, if they went for petrol, to the toilet, to check if their rear lights were working, to change a tyre, to get a drink, to help a person after an accdent , etc etec, the legislation clearly says that one is exempt when taking the car for an mot, there are no if or buts. Unless it is deemed to be unreasonable, like going for a day out in brighton before coming back to london for the mot, going to a massage parlour , william hill to place a bet for a few hours, delivering parcels, doing mini cabbing, etc etc
