I have been working on my Rover for over a year, as a consequence it is now not road legal, still on UK plates but no insurance, tax or MOT.
I will be getting French insurance this week.
Question is once the insurance is through can I legally drive it to a CT station for a pre-booked test?, or do I have to take the back roads and hope I don't meet a Gendarm.
Thanks
Pete.

i am no expert like the ones on AI but as far as i know you will be covered to drive to the mot station. my insurance company told me i was and i have done it a few times . but the important thing is get it booked in then if you are stopped they can always check with the mot station and if the car fails i think you have 2 months to get it back and re tested .

My understanding is that here in France once you have insurance, your car is covered for third party risks no matter what, even if it is stolen, so you would be covered insurance wise to drive to a CT station. However unlike the UK there is no allowance to drive to the CT test station so you would be committing an offence if stopped although I don't believe it is a serious offence.
My advice would be to ask at the CT station, it must be a common problem.

You can drive to the CT station only, you are covered but you have to have an app card to show gendarms, who will check maybe, if it isn't almost lunch time, or raining, or.......... lol.

Got me app card, CT man says OK Excellent, hope it passes first time I have spent a fortune on it plus torn tendons, cuts, bruises etc, if it don't pass I will probably throw a wobbly and drive the thing into the lake. |
