Daylight MOT

Post by vic-vtrvfr » Mon Feb 25, 2013 1:57 pm

Hi folks

Just thinking out loud - but wondering what the score is with a daytime only MOT?
I've read some people say you need to modify headlight switch etc but thought i'd ask whats the procedure.
Thinking it might be a temporary approach to go for while i'm engineering a solution to my headlight problem

Cheers
Vic

Varies from place to place so check with whoever is doing the mot but all you need is a brake light and horn.

brake light, rear reflector, horn, speedo, number plate.


if lights and indicators are fitted they MUST work.

Thought you could get away with having no brake lights too? Silly idea but im sure i heard thats legal aswell.

I think if the bike is registered after 1986 you need a brake light...could be wrong...

I dont understand the need for a reflector which is only useful at night?
