Hmmm. It's great that you have an understanding vehicle inspector and all, but if you're pulled over for the infraction - despite having a valid certification - aren't you, or more specifically the vehicle inspector issuing the certificate, at risk for some kind of penalty, fine, etc., because the car was blessed with a known violation?The garage that done all the work for, and issued, M.O.T left the turn signals red(Owner of the garage has owned American cars/trucks all his adult life and now in his early 70's)Any update on this Pegleg? I'm just interested after stumbling upon this thread.
I'm just curious, because U.S. vehicle inspectors are liable for violations when pursued, and could lose their license, have fines imposed, and other punitive bad things, depending on the severity of the incident the violations are discovered (i.e., resulting vehicle accident with loss of life, etc.). I'm just wondering who takes the brunt if a violation citation is issued - seems like it shouldn't be your fault, since the inspector passed it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm glad you got a 'common sense' solution to your issue (which seems like kind of a nit-picking law, to be honest), but I'd be weary of the potential for something bad to happen since the light configuration is [apparently] still not in compliance with the vehicle code.
