My car had to have it's yearly MOT test this morning, always a worrying time, and made more so this year after all of our other problems - But it flew through the test with no problems whatsoever 

So this evening it's time to relax and have a few beers......

Hi Eddy,you've reminded me I'll have to check at what stage this month my MoT is due then I'll check when the cars' one is due too     Always an expensive time of the year with VED to be paid at the end of the month too.

cheers

I figure MOT is Ministory of Transport (we have one here and they are always expensive to talk too),
but what is VED ? It sound like something you need to treat with penicillin

that'd be Vehicle Excise Duty? (or 'road tax') and they always seem to be finding excuses to increase it!

Congratulations.  I look at passing the MOT as  'saving further expense', which is always pleasing.

Hello PD's,

Eddy, I've got to thank you. This weekend my wife had asked if I had paid the annual vehicle registration for our car. Thinking I had, I gave it no further consideration. Then when this thread appeared I really began to wonder if I had. I went through the paperwork neatly piled on my desk (not) and miraculously was able to locate the registration form. Sure enough, I hadn't and the due date is April 8. After that, penalties start to incur up to 50% of the annual fee. Fortunately it is still April 7 here in California and we are able to pay on-line. So needless to say that was taken care of before I shared this story with you all.

Thanks again Eddy and everyone else.
