A new tumble drier

I went for vented as opposed to condenser.

Cheaper and more reliable IMO...

Plus it saved bunging up the existing permanent vent :)

NO, driving without an MOT is an offence; fine up to £1000, that's two iPads!

But they'll never catch you as it's not a prority, ANPR is not set up to catch you and it doesn't raise money for El Gov and even if they fine you its far less cost than actually getting a valid MOT :D

Nobody EVER gets fined the maximum. Think £50 and a slapped wrist.

but you could be driving an unsafe vehicle putting you and others at risk. Not very responsible that :)

Even the moment you set foot outside the MOT station your vehicle could be in that state. A Safe vehicle is one where the owner actually KNOWS something about their car and fixes problems as they arise rather than an idiot who thinks that just because they have an up to date service record and a valid MOT that they need do nothing more than just drive it.

That is the greater danger IMHO than the presence or absence of a piece of paper.
