"peel off" panel on MOT Certifcate.

Accompanied by the sound of a chisel on slate Brian Reay, managed to produce the following words of wisdom

Stick it in a corner of your windscreen and you know when your MOT is due.

on 22/08/2007, Brian Reay supposed :

They peel off and stick in a corner of your windscreen - to remind for the next time it is due.

Oh, that obvious!

Thank you both.

Brian

The words just above the peel off bit may give you a clue.

Except that the biro usually used to fill the date in isn't UV-tolerant so after 6 months you won't be able to read the date on it...

I hope they're not using a biro. It's supposed to be printed on a computer.

PC Paul ( snipped-for-privacy@bitrot.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

That's the old ones, pre-computer-ticket.

If you're still using one of those, it may be worth having a quick look at the certificate because I *suspect* it may have expired by now...

The new ones are dot-matrix printed on, usually badly faded because the tester can't be arsed to put a new ribbon in the printer...

peel the little piece off put it in the glove box & stick the remainder in the windscreen ;o)

those little reminder bits are s**te give it a few months and it will start to peel off the windscreen, if it hasnt try getting it off next year without a stanley knife blade !

Not a problem. Merely clean the glass first.

Maybe now, but the first computerised one I had was definitely biro, I remember thinking how stupid it was not to print it with the rest of the form...

Mind you, that was the first week they were out in the wild...
