  1. In the UK the driving test is very strict. Only 17-year-olds pass it first time (then they usually have a prang). Also cars more than three years old have to pass a roadworthy test every year. This used to be under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport (MoT). This Ministry has now been absorbed into the Department of the Environment, but the test is still referred to as 'the MoT', as in 'has your car been MoT'd yet?'. The car, to pass the 'MoT' test, which has to be carried out by a Department of Environment-accredited garage, has to pass on brakes, steering, tyres (they have to have at least a minimum amount of tread), lights, including indicator lights, windscreen wipers including the wiper-wells having water and liquid detergent/washing-up liquid in them, the horn working correctly. They may have included some more things in recent years - other commenters can correct me if I have left anything out. You need to submit your up-to-date MoT certificate in order to pay your annual road tax. You need to have paid your road tax in order to insure your vehicle. Driving an uninsured vehicle is a very serious offence and can result in a prison sentence.
