I suppose it depends when the MOT expired. If it was in 1987 you probably have some explaining to do.
Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

I imagine that missing VED is checked passively anyway, by any police enforcement camera, which I guess is the reason the lot mentioned above were caught.
Not seen any police checks but I gather some rather barking excuses have been given out by motorists on the A59 approaching Cote du Blubberhouses
- Needed to deliver a lawnmower
- Needed to pick up a puppy
- The local vets are not open and need to go to one in Lancashire

DVLA have mobile enforcement units just cruising the backstreets in normal times. These are just discreet vans with minimal signage and a couple of small ANPR cameras mounted on the roof. If you are not observant you might just dismiss them as the van of a tradesman and they drive around waiting for the cameras to get a hit, at which point they pull over and slap a wheel clamp on the offending vehicle.
Highly amusing for a law abiding vehicle owner like me..... It's not like taxing a car is difficult nowadays, with email & postal reminders and auto direct debit renewal. That is of course assuming you intend to pay....

Not necessarily all that barking. Non food goods are still being delivered as far as I know. Presumably including lawnmowers.
I'd not really considered veterinary care. I wouldn't automatically dismiss it. I don't know.
The middle one is barking. Or rather yapping.

It's a lockdown. Being locked in the boot of a car would seem to going the extra mile to me.

You’ve reminded me of an incident with a neighbour and I can’t believe it’s a whole year since it happened. I still laugh about it every time I see him. https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/car-owning-idiocy-thread-×341.242665/page-7#post-5572726

ALERT .....
Apparently there are scams trying to rip off people by picking up your mobile number sending a txt and saying youve been moving around to much and asking you to send money to a .gov_uk /cvpenalty site to pay a fine , leaving people open to bank fraud etc ,
beware folks and tell your friends etc

Not around here, it's a small white van with a huge camera on top forward facing, down & to the left, then words down the side of the van, in big black letters, such & such company (forget who) working in partnership with DSA or some such words, it was running around here week before last, going up & down each street.
