MOT - Glass?

Why "strangely enough"? There's plenty of cars out there without any 'screen fitted - or way TO fit a screen...

Your definition of "modern" is as in "post-medieval".

No but this is a vehicle that's designed and fitted with a screen and wipers and washers, so you may think that removing the said items it would not be able to be tested? I know the rules and regs regarding screens and when a crack fails, or in a kit car what size of screen requires wipers etc, some if does not really make a lot of sense!. As an extreme, if you removed all lights on a car it could be a fail, though if you did the same on a bike you pass with a daytime only MOT (all other things being equal!) There are people paid a lot of 'our' money to create these regulations..

Because there is no car equivalent to a daylight-only bike, and certain lights are required by law on all cars (subject to the usual caveats about age) - glass isn't required to be fitted to all cars.

Caterham et al would be stuffed if it was...

The message from Grimly Curmudgeon contains these words:

Along with people who stop in doorways as they enter/leave shops. One of these days I'm going armed with a hatpin to deal with the bastards.

You can safely guarantee they'll find some C&U rule you've broken if you try it with a normal car :-)

You know me by now... I don't *do* "normal car"...
