Can anyone clear something up for me? I have always been under the impression that If I were to book a car in for an mot, I can drive it there even though it has no current mot or tax, it is insured.Anyone know if this is right? Need to take Jamie's tomorrow and don't have a tow there  |

You're okay, so long as you don't intend driving a great distance (like Lands End to John O'Groats) for the MOT.

take the hub off and take it down a local garage and ask for them to have a crack at it with the air ratchet |
