[928uk] Pistonheads Skid Pad Training at Thruxton Dec 11th - ULEZ and road charging

[Ken Gillett]

Yes an unlucky catch, but as you say, technically it was illegal to drive at the time.

The real problem with the above is the inappropriate restrictions after an MOT failure. I wouldn’t disagree those need changing and that’s what’s really at issue here.

(As an example, a friend of mine had an MoT failure for damaged/bulging tyres, and technically the car was illegal to drive on the road, yes it would have been dangerous to drive fast, but perfectly safe to drive home.) As we see from speed limit enforcement cameras, we get penalised for a technical infringement whether it is fair or not.
