(...continuation from over the page :roll: )

...and to demonstrate that the document outlining the exceptions to the £100 retest fee is still live, check it out here via the link - it's the second-last link at the bottom of the list, called 'Taxi Testing Manual with fees April 2025':

And it's on the last page of the pdf document:

https://www.fife.gov.uk/kb/docs/article ... r-licences

And note the date on the first page of the document, as compared to the date on the last page :lol: :oops:

Ah, I get it - MoT expired about three weeks ago :-o

At least he's taxed for a few months yet :?
