Driving without a valid MOT carries a penalty of up to £1,000 and could invalidate a car insurance policy. Worryingly, one in eight (12%) UK drivers have driven without a valid MOT in the past. Of these, the majority (64%) had forgotten the due date.
One in six (17%) drivers don’t typically receive reminders of the upcoming test, leaving them more at risk of driving without a valid MOT certificate.
With MOT tests now more in demand, drivers should be looking to prepare their car before it goes in to the garage to increase the chances of passing first time.
But worryingly, nearly one in three (29%) drivers don’t check over their car before it goes into for its MOT, leaving them more at risk of finding issues.
This means motorists could be paying out whatever is necessary to get the job done.
However, the research also shows that one in 10 (10%) drivers are confused about what they can do to prepare their car for an MOT.
To clear this confusion and help drivers increase their chances of passing their MOT test, Confused.com has created a checklist to keeping a car roadworthy.
According to the expert advice, there are a number of checks that a driver should carry out before heading to the garage, including checking the lights, registration plate, wheels and tyres.
They’re all quick and easy to check and to fix, but if ignored they could lead to a failed MOT.
According to data from the DVSA, bald or defective tyres accounted for the most ‘dangerous’ faults between April and September last year.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the end to this window promises to be more of the same, with Aston Villa and their rivals potentially working on deals right up to the eleventh hour.
For those who leave their business to the very last minute, there are ways around the strict 11pm deadline in order to get moves over the line.
How can clubs extend the deadline to get a deal done?
Clubs can legally circumvent the 11pm deadline by providing their league with a deal sheet up to two hours before the window closes.
This acts as a one-off extension for the buying club, affording them additional time to fill out the details required in FIFA’s Transfer Matching System, which cross-references details of any international transfer to ensure figures and fees are identical on both the selling and purchasing side.
The deal sheet confirms that an agreement has been reached by all parties prior to the deadline, and that the clubs need additional time to complete all necessary documentation.
Sign up to our Villa newsletter for updates ahead of the transfer deadline Why should you sign up? Villa have enjoyed a fine season so far after signing Ollie Watkins, Betrand Traore, Matty Cash, Emi Martinez and Ross Barkley in the summer.

A Premier League club must submit the deal sheet to the Premier League before the 11pm deadline, otherwise it will not be accepted by the league and any potential move will be vetoed.

birminghammail--2020-10-05--Four announcements Matt Hancock could make in coronavirus statement on Monday

Matt Hancock is due to make a Commons statement later today amid growing chaos surrounding the Test and Trace system .
The weekly rate of new Covid-19 cases has soared in dozens of areas of England , following the addition of nearly 16,000 cases that went unreported by because of a technical error with an Excel spreadsheet .
The problem has led to a delay in efforts by NHS Test and Trace to find the contacts of those who tested positive for the virus , in some cases by around a week .
Prime Minister Boris Johnson was unable to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of positive coronavirus cases had been missed .
It was also confirmed the Health Secretary would make a statement to MPs in the Commons on October 5 amid the growing chaos .
The Health Secretary could address anything from the Public Health England testing chaos , to rising Covid-19 rates in hotspots like the North West .
PHE spoke out after a technical issue meant they missed out on counting more than 15,841 cases .
Interim Chief Executive of PHE Michael Brodie said : “ A technical issue was identified overnight on Friday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that transfers Covid-19 positive lab results into reporting dashboards .
“ After rapid investigation , we have identified that 15,841 cases between 25 September and 2 October were not included in the reported daily Covid-19 cases .

“ NHS Test and Trace and PHE have worked to quickly resolve the issue and transferred all outstanding cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contact tracing system and I would like to thank contact tracing and health protection colleagues for their additional efforts over the weekend .
“ We fully understand the concern this may cause and further robust measures have been put in place as a result.

The issue occurred when people who tested positive were not recorded once a master Excel spreadsheet reached its maximum size @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said the technical issue resulted in 15,841 cases between September 25 and October 2 being left out of the reported daily coronavirus cases .
It said the outstanding cases were transferred to NHS Test and Trace `` immediately '' after the issue was noted and all cases were passed on to tracers by 1am on Saturday .
Dr Duncan Robertson , lecturer in management sciences and analytics at Loughborough University and fellow of St Catherine 's College , Oxford , said the error was `` an absolute scandal '' .
He tweeted : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their contacts identified and those contacts may have become infectious and may have been spreading the virus . ''
Paul Hunter , professor of health protection at the University of East Anglia , said `` there will be occasional glitches '' in a system this size , but added : `` I think the thing that surprised me was the size of it - almost 16,000 results going missing over the course of a week is quite alarming I think .

Analysis by the PA news agency shows that Manchester now has the highest rate in England , with 2,740 cases recorded in the seven days to October 1 - the equivalent of 495.6 cases per 100,000 people , up from 223.2 in the previous week .
Liverpool has the second highest rate , up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new cases and Knowsley in Merseyside is in third place , up from 300.3 to 452.1 , with 682 new cases .

The head of the immunisation programme told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about 'time to vaccinate the whole population ' but that is misguided .
`` There is going to be no vaccination of people under 18 .
`` It 's an adult-only vaccine for people over 50 , focusing on health workers and care home workers and the vulnerable . ''
This weekend , Hancock said the military would be involved in distributing a coronavirus vaccine .
He told the Tory conference that a vaccine was the `` great hope '' .
`` The Prime Minister said this morning there will be some bumpy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hard as we can to get a vaccine as fast as is safely possible , '' he said .

The clip – filmed on board the 79 bus in West Bromwich – shows the man being tackled to the ground and threatened with MURDER by another passenger.
West Midlands Police confirmed it was investigating after a 16-year-old girl was racially abused and attacked at around 5.40pm on Thursday (October 1).
During the incident, another passenger threw the man to the ground and stamped on his head, police added.
The mobile phone footage above, widely shared to social media, is being examined by officers as part of the probe.
The drama begins with a couple arguing with a fellow passenger about not wearing a mask on the double-decker.
The irate man can be heard shouting “put the f****** mask on” as a passenger attempts to defended the teen after he allegedly ‘spat and touched’ her.
But the woman, who was wearing a mask, responds by saying ‘I don’t want to put up with you sitting next to us with no mask on’.
“You’re spreading it,” she added. “You’re spreading it around people.”
A tirade of abuse continues from the pair as tempers continue to rise between the two warring parties.
“It’s lucky you’re 16,” the woman added. “Or I would knock you out.”
And, shockingly, as the pair get up and attempt to leave the bus the man – who has not been identified – turns around and kicks the teen in the face.
The victim can be heard screaming ‘oh my god’ and stands up to confront her attacker after the blow landed.
A suit-clad man is then filmed storming from the back of the public transport and violently throws the man to the floor.
“What the f*** are you doing” he screams. “You piece of s***.
“I will murder you.”
The man then stamps on his head and then begins pushing the mask-wearing woman off the bus.
The shocking clip ends with the two men embroiled in a tussle and the lout if thrown off the bus head in a headlock.
West Midlands Police appealed for any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward after speaking to the teenage girl involved.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "We’re investigating after a teenager was racially abused and attacked on a bus in Hill Top, West Bromwich.
"An argument broke out on the 79 bus in Moxley at around 5.40pm on October 1, before a fellow passenger racially abused the 16-year-old and kicked her.
"He was then thrown to the ground by another passenger, who then stamped on his head.
"We have spoken to the girl, and are examining mobile phone footage which has been shared on social media.
"We take racially aggravated crimes extremely seriously, and our enquiries continue."
Anyone with information has been asked to get in touch with the force by calling 101, quoting crime reference number 20SW/240154T/20.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

birminghammail--2020-10-05--Boris Johnson's stark warning after Cineworld closes cinemas

Boris Johnson acknowledged there would be `` tough times ahead '' in the jobs market following the Cineworld announcement but encouraged people to go to the movies .
Cineworld has announced that it will temporarily close all of its 102 sites across the country , and Cineworld-owned Picturehouse will shut 25 .
The news came after the studios behind the James Bond franchise delayed the release of new film No Time To Die for the second time due to Covid-19 .
The Prime Minister told reporters in central London : `` Obviously we hope to reduce , to keep the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down as much as we can , but clearly there are going to be tough times ahead .
`` That 's why we 've already invested £190 billion in supporting jobs , livelihoods around the country .

`` Cineworld will have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ furlough scheme , through other ways the Government has been supporting businesses .
Conscious that aspects of the main furlough scheme are coming to an end , but there is a successor scheme there .
`` Cineworld ... we can not make every economic decision for companies , it 's up to them to make that choice , but I do think , frankly , there has been a lot of support in order to try and keep people in jobs , and I know that businesses recognise that . ''

Player ratings vs Fulham
Rui Patricio 7
A welcome quiet game for Wolves’ number one who didn’t have a save of note to make. He was glad to see Kamara’s late chance fired straight into his hands.
Claimed a couple of crosses towards the end to take the pressure off his defence.
Willy Boly 7
Boly worked hard to help Coady contain Mitrovic and took no chances when the ball was lifted into Wolves’ box. A marked improvement on his last three performances.
Conor Coady 7
The captain produced a couple of vital interceptions to help Wolves preserve their clean sheet, including one headed clearance with Mitrovic ready to pounce behind him.
Max Kilman 7
Kilman was a surprise selection at the back instead of Hoever but looked very solid in between Coady and Saiss.
He used the ball well and it will be interesting to see where he ends up when the domestic transfer window shuts on October 16.
Nelson Semedo 8
A full week on the training ground led to a much improved showing from Wolves’ marquee signing. He offered plenty of energy and width down the right, snapping into tackles to win the ball back at every opportunity.
Semedo is already looking far more in sync with his teammates and came close to netting his first Wolves goal in the first half. He will only get better too.
Leander Dendoncker 6
Added a physical presence to Wolves’ midfield after West Ham exposed Neves and Moutinho last week, but he didn’t bring much quality in possession.
Dendoncker tried to get forward and support attacks and was involved in the build-up to Neto’s winner.
Ruben Neves 6
Spotted danger quickly and dealt with it. He attempted one of his trademark strikes from distance but couldn’t find the net.
Romain Saiss 7
Wolves’ Jack of all Trades filled in at left wing-back for Nuno against Fulham and managed a pretty solid job. The extra centre-back on the left allowed Semedo to push up and wreak havoc on the other side.
Pedro Neto 8
Another industrious display from the young Portuguese, starting in midfield before moving closer to Jimenez and Podence after half-time.
He attempted a couple of efforts from range before showing just how deadly he can be inside the box with a well-placed strike beyond Areola.
Raul Jimenez 7
Missed a gilt-edged chance but it didn’t matter as Neto gave Wolves the lead a matter of seconds later.
Jimenez improved after half-time and was able to link up with Neto and Podence as Wolves pushed forward in pursuit of goals.
Daniel Podence 7
The little number 10 is an entertainer and was the stand-out player in an otherwise poor first half display. Podence’s teammates moved onto his wavelength after half-time and the quality of Wolves’ football improved as a result.
SUBS
Joao Moutinho (for Podence, 71) 5
Lookman beat him far too easily to create Fulham’s best chance of the game for Kamara.
Ki-Jana Hoever (for Semedo, 78) 5
A lack of communication between Hoever and Jimenez saw one chance go begging late on.
Adama Traore (for Neto, 82) 5
Didn’t really get into the game as Fulham pushed forward after the leveller.
Not used: Ruddy, Buur, Vitinha, Silva

birminghammail--2020-10-05--Matt Hancock to give coronavirus statement on Monday

Health Secretary Matt Hancock is to make a Commons statement later today on the coronavirus situation , the House authorities said .
It comes as Boris Johnson was unable to say how many contacts of positive coronavirus cases had been missed as a result of the testing fiasco .
He told reporters in central London : `` I ca n't give you those figures .
What I can say is all those people are obviously being contacted and the key thing is that everybody , whether in this group or generally , should self-isolate . ''
Mr Johnson said of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happened here was that some of the data got truncated and it was lost .
`` But what they have done now is not only contacted all the people who were identified as having the disease - that was done in the first place - but they are now working through all the contacts as well .
`` The key thing , I would say , and it goes for everybody , is that if you are contacted by NHS Test and Trace then you must self-isolate , if you are told you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has the virus .
`` There is support of £500 for doing so and of course a £10,000 fine if you do n't . ''
Mr Johnson said the updated figures meant that the prevalence of the virus was where experts had expected it to be and it would soon be apparent if extra restrictions for some parts of the country were having the intended impact .
The Prime Minister told reporters : `` The incidence that we are seeing in the cases corresponds to pretty much where we thought we were .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think that the slightly lower numbers that we 'd seen , you know , did n't really reflect where we thought the disease was likely to go , so I think these numbers are realistic .
`` The crucial thing is that in the next few days , week , we 'll see more clearly whether some of the restrictions that we put in - the extra enforcement of the rule of six , the extra enforcement of self-isolation , the rules on masks and so on - all the stuff that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether that starts to work in driving down the virus . ''
If people followed the guidance `` I have no doubt that we will be able to get on top of it , as indeed we did earlier this year '' .
