MOT tester’s a bit of a dick to fail you on that.
Why?
What if he’d allowed it to pass? Rich - with his gay abandon for the law - leaves the MOT centre sideways and gets pulled at 71mph in a 40.
The cops see a new MOT has just been awarded, despite the flagrant plate spacing felony staring at them.
After a DVLA investigation, the Garage lose their license to perform MOTs. Within 2 months the business is on its knees. No money to pay the mortgage. His wife leaves him. His kids deny ever having a father.
One month later he awakes to the sound of a fruity V8. He rolls over, and the now empty bottle of meths spills through the railing, dropping 30m into the cold Thames below. He rubs his eyes and kicks the cardboard duvet off a little. He can see it is Rich. Phone to his ear whilst trundling along in the traffic. He’s laughing. Rich drops a window and throws out his litter. Cans of Rich Energy and a Ginsters wrapper. Some law abider can pick them up. He revs, drops the clutch, and power slides round the bend leaving the bridge. Still on his phone. The ex-garage owner spits rubber fragments from his lips.
An impressionable hot hatch behind tries to emulate the notorious criminal: but he doesn’t know he has WWD. He understeers wildly across the junction into the puppy walker passing by. The human just squeezes out of the way. But the puppies.....
The driver exits. Shaken. But.... he’s laughing! Just like Rich was!
The floating is beautiful before the Impact. The water is cold. But strangely welcoming. Sweet. Release.
