from experience if you get cought with non and you get a producer they will make you get it legal - ie mount in mirrors or wing, take it to an MOT station and get it checked and take paperwork back to the station, or they may just ask that you bring it to the station after - saving MOT cost | |

2 be legal, if you are stood 1 meter to the side of the rear corner of the car you need to be able to see a flashing orange light, they are for people that are too far in front of your rear indicators and too far behind the front indicators (pretty much your blind spot) to be able to see that you are planing on moving into thier lane | |

As long as you have an indicator thats visible from the front and the side it will b fine | |

You need side repeaters, they can be anywhere so long as they aren't lower x"... Whether they check the hights at MOT time I don't know. So they can be on the wheel arch, spoiler, wing, rear quater pannel, door e.t.c... | |

So it will probably be illegal if you got a producer for loose side repeaters? | |

I got a producer for having a loose side repeater. :o It wasn't fastened in properly and was slightly hanging out and apparantly it was dangerous bodywork. :| | |

So if I get stopped by the police with no side repeaters it will be OK? | |

I don't want them on the mirror as it will spoil the effect you see. | |

i think it's a legal requirement in this country to have them somewhere, on wings/mirrors etc, i may be wrong....don't think you would get away with taping them to side of car, safety issues i would eckon...may be wrong though.. | |

Is it a legal requirement to have them for an MOT? If so can I just get away with sticking some on the side with tape for the MOT with wires from under the bonnet? |
