Last night my son was stopped by a routine MOT police check, and
found much to his embarrassment that he had forgotten to renew his
MOT. Although he had a valid current insurance certificate, when the
police officer rang his insurer they said his insurance was not valid.
He was thus charged both with not having a valid MOT and not having
insurance. Is this right? It seems from reading other threads that
opinions differ; surely there should be a definitive answer?
