jesterwalker69 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Got pulled today for not displaying tax disc (it was displayed but he couldnt see it). (He missed the fact my front number plate was actually in my passenger footwell and not on the car!!!)Copper did obligitory check on car and it came up that the MOT ran out so i got a producer.Confusing thing is though on the tick box to say what i need to show at the cop shop he's only ticked licence and insurance, not test cert.Does that mean i only need to produce those 2? (Meaning i dont need to worry about MOTing the car within the next 7 days)Clearly this is the first producer i've had! Link to post Share on other sites
RAPgolfvr6182 2 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 should really produce the mot aswell did you know the mot had run out? usually take car off the road there and then for no mot as it a offence to drive on public highway without a mot unless its on the way to the mot test station which it needs to be booked in at Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Just try it Olly with insurance and licence...see what happens and if they say wheres MOT say "shit I forgot it" and get it sorted Link to post Share on other sites
jesterwalker69 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 No didnt realise, thought it was end of this month.I asked the copper what happens if it has run out and he said its no big issue just get it MOT'd and procude the new cert along with old one and licence at the station?! Seemed like he wasn't too bothered about the whole thing!Surely if he has ticked just the insurance and licence box on the slip of paper then thats all i need to adhere to. Got the car booked in anyway but looking at moving out so delaying MOT for a wee bit would be handy (and not driving it obviously!).If it is an offence does this mean that i could get in more shi*t when i turn up at cop shop with 2 MOT certs with a 16 day gap between them and a producer issued between the 16 days?! Coz obviously this will show i've been driving the car with no MOT :S Cant be arsed with another 3 points or anything especially as 3 years were up in Feb for the only 3 i had!

jesterwalker69 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hmmm been scouting about and found a similar thread on VWaudi FORUM.Guy got same treatment, just an insurance producer.Migh do as u say Craig. Go in with producer, licence and insurance and see what they do/say. Then if they ask for proof of MOT say i forgot it and go back in once its MOT'd Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I would imagine that as the producer is for no MOT they would be expecting you to bring that mate, i.e no need to tick it as it's the main offence and the reason you have been requested to present your documents - he has ticked the other documents because that's also what he wants you to take along Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote']Nothing to do with lazy or tight arsed. I didnt realise it was due last month, thought it was this month.And moving out and being begged to buy bonnet bra's along with other expenses doesnt help the finance situation so like i said, a couple of weeks grace til pay day would b appreciated, Plus if it needs any work thats even more expense, not the best.

Gave the officer what was ticked (licence and insurance) he came back asked me to sign a peice of paper then said that was all!!I asked about MOT cert and he said No, just what was ticked!!He than asked what he did as a job and when i told him he shouted it through to "Jane" (?!?). Aparently "Jane" thought i was either a footballer or a model coz she recognises me from somewhere.....Er its Carlisle love, population of about 4!!!But happy days, no fine, no conviscated car, no badness!!!
