MOT will be something something tax..



For once the T doesn't mean tax!! MOT is actually an inspection of all vehicles over 3 years old, and the initials are short for Ministry Of Transport, the then name of the government dept that first introduced the test.



Still another rip off the MOT inspection is only valid at the time of the inspection..your MOT is valid for one year but is no indication that 1 minute after the test your car/bike can be deemed unroadworthy due to a blown bulb or collapsed shocks. It is illegal to drive ride a vehicle without MOT and you cannot get road Tax without a current MOT and insurance. So the MOT is an indirect path to Road Tax .....oh yes andf you have to pay VAT on your MOT ....



I'm certain that your part of the world is a wonderful and glorious place to live and call home, but I read about all of the taxes, and petty regulations, and cameras all over the place, and I can't help but feel thankful that I live in little old, backwards, simple Arkansas and not California.

Oops, I meant Great Britain and associated countries...



You are correct Scotland is a wonderful and glorious place to live but is being ruined by politicians and petty minded european beaurocrats who think we need straight bananas...fewer motorcycles...and redder tomatoes.....

I cannot decide whether to be a good example or a horrible warning ! Peace & respect http://www.tomcc.org/gg/ Eric
