i must of seen about 4 police cars and my wing stays broke about 5mins into the 1hr journey!
Dvla Lincoln said it is legal to drive to the inspection if it's a pre arrenged visit !!!! I was under the impression it was not allowed ?
That is different to everything that has been said before. When I turned up for my inspection the old bill were there waiting for people to turn up
not on trailers.

Get it in writing!!
I suspect it falls into the same sort of grey area that driving to an MOT station with no MOT does. You're allowed to drive there, but if you get caught en-route with bald tyres you're going to get points handed to you?
Interesting, when I booked mine DVLA advised car MUST be taken on a trailer. I'd be careful here and double check.

I drove mine to dvla newbury as they said it was ok to, i called my insurance just to make sure, they said as long as it's pre booked it's
fine

He said it falls into the same rule as mot and it's only on un registered cars he also said he has cars being driven in all the time ! I asked
the question because it seems stupid you can drive to iva and not to the inspection
He said sone people mis interpret the law rong !! Still going to ask for it in writing !!!
Drove to mine; interesting thing about the car park at the Maidstone dvla is it has a ticket machine you have to put in your reg no. And the parking
nazis were walking around checking!

I had it explained to me by one DVLA as - you can drive to a pre booked test at a registered MOT station ( this includes the IVA as its an MOT
station). The DVLA office is not a registered MOT station so you can not drive to it.

I was told I had to trailer mine there, they then went on to tell me I wasn't allowed to bring the trailer into the car park and I would have to
park outside on the double yellow lines - I asked if this was OK and I was at no risk of a ticket, to which I was told no and be very careful as a
there was a VERY regular patrol.
I took someone with me in the end and got them to wait with the cars whilst I dealt with the paperwork.
This aside - the staff at Stockton were very helpful and inspected it at the side of the road ( on the double yellow lines )

I had my inspection at Lincoln, and i was told the same by the lady that organises it. She assured me that it was all legal (as like yourself i was under the impression it was not allowed), and wrote me out a letter incase i got pulled by the plod on my way there.
i hate driving around lincoln, as its so busy with loads of 1 way systems. would have prefered beverly, but they wouldnt let me do it there, as they do home inspections, and they wont travel over the bridge :-S
I'll be driving it does it need to be iva ready or can I swap all the iva bits off before I go there ???
