I could've sworn it wasn;t due til next month, but hey ho whizzed to the mot station today and came out with a shiny new mot :clap2::clap::clap2:

Really easy to forget about the MOT! My mate got done for having not having his and he had no idea lol, 3 points and £60 or something like that.

Would be helpful if you could get a reminder...

It's not endorsable ... No points, just a fine.

Oh yes, youre right now that I think back. When he told me about it on msn he told me about a speeding fine too, so the points were for that (he confused me at the time and I thought that he meant he had lost his license because he implied he had gotten 3 points per thing within his first year of driving). But yeah it turned out to just be 3 for the speeding, so you are 100% correct! :slap:
