Headlamp Flash

[Albie]

Can anyone tell me if you have to have pass/headlamp flash for mot. I read a copy online of bike mot and it did not mention it. I say this because mines never worked since I have had it. You all know its the road racing lamps and may be not connected properly I guess. Its due in May so I have time to sort but hope its not switchgear. :D

now I'm worried.

Why ?????? :confused:

sarcasm dear boy (May is some time off yet) I doubt it is in the mot though, after all the highway code stipulates that flashing people to pass etc is a big no no no. Bite the bullet, say a few hail marys and don't worry so much. Nice to see you back, I trust all is well.

Thought so .LOL :D No Im not bothered as have never used it in any needy cause. I was just advanced thinking as to whether it would fail. I have a very nice mot place but not sure of the law etc. Never been stopped on any of my dukes with race cans and open clutches.

Lifes ok thanks Yerbs. In the process of arranging divorce and sell house. That Alfa Romeo 156 3.0 in red looks nice Hmmmmm :D :eek:

I just had mine MOT'd yesterday and the guy checked the main beam alignment using the permanent switch. I did not see him try the flasher, so I think you should be fine?

Just found this, but I dont think its of much use:
