We need to wait and see what the actual rules will be by Nov 2012.
I mean like a Pre 1960 vehicle now sitting on a SORN or not even on a SORN, just in storage or in a pile of bits in storage or under a hedge and going to have to be RE-Registered with the DVLA to get a modern V5 & put back on the road.
It may well need too be inspected by the DVLA for chassis numbers or engine numbers,
But is it just getting back on the road without undergoing a MOT to check that it meets the thing presently on the back of an old type MOT
certificate.
"An MOT Test pass confirms that, when the vehicle was examined in accordance with section 45 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, it met the minimum legal requirements for those items prescribed under the Act.
It does not mean that the vehicle fully meets all legal requirements or that it wil continue to be roadworthy for the next year.
It is your responsibilty to keep the vehicle maintained so that it would always meet MOT standards and be free from other defects."
?? So are they going to allow all and any Pre 1960's not currently on the road to be Registered or re-registered & get a Pre 1973 free tax disc without a Safety check to see it meets minimum standards for a Pre 1960's vehicle?
You would think people where not so stupid to put on the road or drive an unsafe vehicle, i think we all know that thats not how it is!
