dropped a major b*****k

[JBVTR]

Got back from work at 8 and was sat eating some sausage butties in the front room see a police van pull up next to my car and two bobbies get out and start looking over it.
Then one of them started writing somthing out so got up ran outside asked what was up asked me if he could see my insurance mot "yep no problem" go in the glove box valid insurance till july, MOT expiry date 14 feb 09 :panic::panic: fooking shit myself.
Think he thought i was having him on but i honestly thought it was done till november this year got let off with 2 weeks to sort it in the end though :y:
Anyone else done his (maybe not to this extent) and know what the worse case scenario would have been

[Rob-6]

The DVLA van came down my road yesturday. Cameras on all the corners of the van.

Police come down here once in a blue moon.

[Matt67]

Car crushed.. you got away with it mate

[Pieface]

Could have just said you didn't drive it, if it was on a drive that is, if it was on the road then yeah.

[gouldy87]

its no tax they can crush your car, no MOT it was a £30 fine but it might have gone up by now. i also forgot about my MOT. i just booked it in for one and wemt straight through no bother. happy days

[wilsh81]

[CraigLovelock]

[JBVTR]

Ive drove around for 3 weeks without MOT forgetting it ran out, even drove down to my grans in staffordshire and can remember times when coppers had been behind me.
Even no people on here who have forgot much longer than that.

To be fair it was probably kept on the police database for atleast a month after it was canceled :y:

[stephen34]

i have been checked over 20 times already every night i go out and see the boys in blue i just wait for them to pull me over :)

[canaryvtr]

Ive only been pulled over once thank good i hate it feel so uncomfortable a mate of mine was driving round for 4 months with no mot. silly person!

[chrisvtr1989]

i have no tax, insurance or mot so doesnt affect me.

on serious note, you're lucky the po po were in a good mood.

[JimoVTR]

lol - they will always give you two weeks for an MOT

When I bought my VTR I didn't realise it had no Tax for two weeks.

In the mean time I got pulled over and they didn't even realise

[thenice]

My Sax came from northern Ireland and still has an mot, which is similar to a tax disc and goes in the windscreen with the expiry date! i suppose that's too easy for the DVLA dickheads to do here *thinks* maybe another way of collecting legal revenue from those who forget? hmmmm!

[ryanmt]

If he wasn't driving it i don't think he could have had the car crushed?

[Mochachino]

ANPR dont show up MOTs though do they?
