Does Honda fit those washers because they're cute ?

Front fog lights, reverse lights, rear wipers are not part of the test either but still fitted by manufacturers.

Same here. No mention from a Honda main dealer

Slight change of subject but did everyone know that all pre 1960 cars and motorbikes are now MOT exempt?

So you can drive about in a car or on a motorbike that’s a 53 year old or older piece of crap that doesn’t stop - handle or is ready to fall apart because it is so rotten? Where’s the sense in that?

ROB1980

I don't make the rules, it does say the owner is responsible for maintaining the car/bike and the police can obviously still prosecute you for driving an unroadworthy vehicle.

'Owners responsible for maintaining' ministry are trusting aren’t they!
While I feel that most enthusiasts of classic and vintage cars will have their vehicles in a reasonable roadworthy condition I fear that there will be quite a number that won’t give a hoot what their vehicles condition will be in, eventually leading to some unfortunate loosing his or her life.
I am not anti classic or vintage vehicle orientated as I have had many a classic and restored quite a few, among them some high powered jobs, but I do feel that introducing a total exemption on the MOT for these vehicles is ridiculous, a more lenient/sympathetic MOT would have been more appropriate I would have thought.

that's possibly the most stupid thing I've ever heard...
