With everything else going on in our lives it is very easy to forget the MOTs for our cars.
Whilst it may not be considered much of an issue for most, driving a car without a valid MOT certificate in force is an offence under the Road Traffic Act and attracts prosecution, fines and points on licences if caught.
It is said that as many as one in five motorists renew their MOT more than 1 month after it last expired and with as many as six million drivers having admitted to driving their car without a valid MOT certificate because they simply forgot their MOT renewal date, the problem is significant.
A car with an expired MOT is fine if it is laid up and kept off the public highways/roads but use it and you face the possibility of invalidating your insurance. Have an accident and be found to be at fault and your problems really start to mount and have some serious consequences.
You will find yourself having to settle the other person’s costs personally, face the fine, have your licence endorsed with penalty points and expect to see an increase in your next insurance renewal premium.
In an effort to help people remember, Kwik-Fit has announced the launch of a new service that could help drivers in the UK their renewal date by sending their customers email reminders when their test are due.
