A ‘daytime MOT’ is the popular rather than official term used for a Ministry of Transport vehicle test which confirms your motorcycle is legally roadworthy for use only in daylight and conditions of clear visibility. If your bike meets the test criteria you will be issued with a normal MOT certificate but with an advisory note (a VT32) which confirms the daytime/ visibility restriction which applies. If you have a daytime MOT you may not legally use your bike on the public highway outside of daylight hours or at times of seriously reduced visibility.

To qualify for a daytime MOT your bike must “have neither front nor rear position lamps, or have such lamps permanently disconnected, painted over or masked.”  This applies to headlamps, position lamps and indicators. The situation with stop lamps is significantly more complicated. Machines do not need to have a stop lamp fitted if they cannot exceed 25mph, were first used before 1^st January 1936 or were first used before 1^st April 1986 and do not exceed 50cc. Those first used before 1^st April 1986 must have a stop lamp that operates from at least one brake control and those used on or after that date must have a stop lamp operated from both brakes. There is an added if not widespread complication for bikes first used from 1^st April 1986 which were approved with a stop lamp activated by one control. There were very few of these and test inspectors are instructed to fail a bike only if they are certain the stop lamp was designed to be operated by both brake controls and isn’t.

Hope this helps 

From direct.gov:

If you use the electronic vehicle licensing service or tax by post at the end of the month, there’s now an exemption for not displaying a tax disc. This exemption covers the first five working days of the month to allow time for the new disc to arrive in the post. While you are still waiting for your tax disc you will need to display your current tax disc. The exemption only applies if applications are made before the current tax disc or SORN expires.

Back on topic - first action when on scene is to assess for danger, not just to the patient, but to you and others around you. From what you've described, don't think anyone would disagree with your assessment and course of action. Don't worry too much about the ambulance flying towards him, the information passed will have been very basic and probably over exaggerated and generated a high priority response code.

I would expect it to allow you to plug in a card and have that capacity plus the onboard 2GB available to use, eg 8GB card + 2GB onboard = 10GB available
On the charging question, always allow full out of the box use if possible. My mum still provides batteries for presents where needed, even those that come with 'demo' batteries supplied.

Has someone been good this year then?

Yup, the whole system is flawed. As are most systems which are based on honesty, decency and an ounce of common sense, as shown in the recent Trip Advisor documentary.

X reg Corsa 1.2. Was brand new as they had a decent finance package and the first years insurance was free. Sold it after 7 months as I'd gone from young free and single to married with children and needed something a bit more family friendly
