You screwed up, pay the fine.

First thanks for all the comments.
The car has (as I said yesterday) now had the MOT done, and passed with flying colours.
For those who dont know the fine is now £60.
I was only curious when put my post on here, but I doubt for one minute my son would ever get off without paying the fine.
BUT PLEASE NOTE:
I am absolutely positive I forgot this for one reason only.
As we can all now renew our tax on the internet, this was how I did renew the tax on this car. Now, when you renew online you dont need all your documents, as you do when you go to the post office. You just put the number in from your reminder which you receive in the post, enter your payment details, and hey presto in a couple of days you have your new tax disc. SO, because you dont root out all your documents ie. valid MOT certificate, then it is very easy to forget your MOT needs renewing until like me it is too late. I know for a fact that had I caught sight of my MOT cert as I normally would do when renewing my tax then I would definately have noticed that a couple of weeks after renewing my Car Tax, my MOT would have been due and so, could have left everything out so it was to hand when the time comes, or, ring my garage and book my MOT.
I am positive this will have happened and will happen to many other motorists. And hence no points just a fine. You see if everyone was banned there would be no drivers and no motoring offences and so no fines. And what would happen then.
A very sly fox who thought that one up!!!!!

good post
AFAIK current MOT certs also contain a sticker that you an put on the sun blind etc.
I have now started sticking them there
Yes, the certificate does have a small portion with the expiry date on that peels off and can be affixed to the windscreen which can act as a reminder when the MOT is due.

Not just your eyes, chuck, looks like your keyboard can only type ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, now.
Not having a MOT does not invalidate the insurance.
Part of the insurance contract terms may be that you must have a MOT, and that means that if the insured makes a claim, then he will be in breach of contract and the insurers can choose not to pay out.
But the insurers must still, by law maintain cover for any third-party claims against the insured
That is why the driver was allowed to drive home

The law is that a car must have an MOT to be used on the road not to be kept on the road so insurance would still be valid if someone hit your car while parked etc
