Yep quite correct RFR. I wasn't questioning you - I just needed it from VOSA officially in case of any comeback. :)

Cheers

Just had confirmation from VOSA today that Number plate light is NOT repeat NOT part of the MOT test for Class 1 & 2 (Motorcycles). If inoperative or missing Pass and Advise.

 

Strange but true.

Training was pretty straightforward.

I managed 100% on both tests and have never been a tester before.

Just take your time with the questions but more importantly take notes during the course itself for referral to later.

A useful tip is CBR (Can't Blinkin Remember) for Cross Ply, Belted and Radial tyre fitment law front to back.

Hope this helps.

Interesting

If the police stop a bike thats just been MOT'd without a number plate light and then claim it needs one by law,  then what legislation are they refering to ? Is it construction and Use ? What defense has the rider in saying "But it's just passed the MOT ???" any at all?

 

Personally I think this needs clarifying with VOSA ASAP?

 

Your Thoughts?

"If it is not there you cannot fail it, in the manual that is", seriously, Reg plate lamp/s not part of the test (class 1&2), however any issues pass and advise, does not mean though, that by law it is not required!!!!! Hope this helps.

As I'm a relatively new class 2 tester I thought it most strange having studied the Testers Guide myself that no mention is made of a number plate light.

 

Does anyone else out there who is a more experienced Class 2 tester have any idea on this or do we take is as granted that it is simply not a testable item ???

Hi

Does a motorbike (Class 1 and 2) have to have a number plate light. If so do you know which regulation states it must in the MOT Testers manual?

Thanks
