Sat-navs and MoTs

Thankfully our faithful tug has passed its MoT for another year, however, when I collected it I was “advised” that my dash-cam had been removed. Apparently, it’s now an instant fail if the driver’s vision is obstructed by anything, including furry dice, air-fresheners or even dash-cameras.  The guy told me he wasn’t mean enough to fail it and make me pay for a retest, which was very kind of him. I just wish he’d removed the camera with a little more care, as both the power cable and the one coming from the rear camera had both disappeared up into the headlining, which will take a couple of hours to retrieve.

I write this warning to my fellow members, be sure to remove your camera before the test and tie the cables safely so it can all be reinstalled easily.
