    MOT Testing Exemptions Consultation VERY IMPORTANT

    in Legislation, Licenses & Registration

    Hi,

    For vehicles over 3500kg it is on the back of the V112G form. This is the form used to self-declare exemption from plating and testing.

    "33. Motor vehicles first used before 1 January 1960, used unladen and not drawing a laden trailer, and trailers manufactured before 1 January 1960 and used unladen."

    Search the forum as there has been lots of discussion on this subject over the years including a lot of speculation as to how far one could stretch an interpretation of the term 'laden'.

    The rules are intended to prevent test-exempt vehicles being used for commercial purposes so a certain amount of common sense can be applied.

    The consensus has generally been that 'on-vehicle materiel' such as tools, recovery equipment, permanently fitted equipment etc. are ok, as is personal kit such as camping gear, clothing, food etc.

    As Degsy says, this has not to anyone's knowledge ever been tested in court.

    Hi guys,

    How much do you's pay for your GMC insurance? Just trying to get a ball park figure, most of the quotes are coming back with £300-1000!!!

    Ive got 12 years no claims, no points, not accidents and stored away from home.

     

    Thanks

    What are the rules with driving the 352 to a show with passengers in the back on the bench seats. I have a cat C and D1 license if that makes a difference?

     

    I guess I'm limited to 16 people?

     

    What about seatbelts?

     

    Cheers

    I keep seeing a Dodge WC (I think) driving past my house every few weeks. Ive tried to flag it down to chat but to no avail! Its in Newcastle towards the airport Woolsington way. (Mods, if this is in the wrong section please move it!)

    Is this a little disrespectful?

    It gets to me too, that's what annoyed me with the W&P show, you get people walking round in all types of uniform, CS95 desert trousers with trainers, a SAS beret and a 40's BD jacket, if you're going to portray someone, portray them realistically. But the medals, having earned medals in a number of wars, I've lost friends, I find it disrespectful.

     

    I remember once we we guarding an airshow and we ejected a gent for claiming he was a serving RAF pilot, wearing Flt Lt flying suit and wearing SD shoes and an airman SD cap!!

     

    The uniform law, I never knew about that!!
