My son who is a named driver on my car was driving home today and stopped by the police. He wasnt speeding or going through a red light, but quite wrongly the car had no MOT. This totally surprised me and I cannot believe it ran out last Sept. this has never happened before in my life (must be old age) I had genuinely forgotten. I hold my hands up its my fault and so I will have to pay the fine. But what surprised me was that he was then allowed to get back in with passengers, and drive home. Surely they (the police) knew that had there been an accident not having an MOT would totally invalidate the insurance, and this in itself would be a crime. So could this make the penalty invalid as the officer should not have allowed him to drive home. By the way the car is straight in for its MOT in the morning but this just puzzled me.
Has anyone else been in this situation.
Just a change from DIY.
