Alternatively – and in no way do I endorse this course of action – are you insured for the car? Even 3rd party via your own car insurance would do. You take the points and your gf owes you BIG TIME. Insurance companies generally aren’t too bothered about the first 3 points on a license, so I wouldn’t worry about it putting your premium up.
Just to add, if it was a rear facing speed, err, ‘safety’ 🙄 scamera, ‘they’won’t be able to i.d. the driver, so, as above, if you are covered on the insurance, say it was you driving, & you were on the way to the MOT centre. If it was only a few minutes between the MOT centre & being ‘flashed’ this could be feasible….
As already said, a car with no MOT can be driven to the MOT centre, but what if you, ahem, ‘got lost’ on the way to the place, & drove around a bit before you found it ? This ‘explanation’ could be used if ‘they’ said that due to the location of the camera in relation to the MOT centre, it showed that the car was going away from the centre at the time…
Bastard ‘Safety (S)Camera Partnerships’ make my piss boil….**** all to do with road safety, & all about revenue. And, yes, I know, if you weren’t speeding, you wouldn’t get fined etc etc.
