I'm sure I read somewhere on a scooter forum that indicator buzzers were a MOT fail, can anyone shine any light on this? I don't want all the 'mine passes with one on' replies I just need the answer to the query please. I think it was something to do with the blind crossing the road or do you think someone was taking the piss?

Earl,
Consider your urine to have been well and truly extracted.
If MOT fail this company wouldn't be able to sell many

I've got a set too, but reluctant to fit them cos of the noise they make, might get complaints off the neighbours, bleeping late at night as I turn into the street

hang on a min, years and years ago (the seventies), I seem to remember beeping indicators on bikes , were in fact banned, or an mot fail, as for the reason pointed out by earl, that blind people could mistake the noise for a pelican crossing beep, and walk into the road. Not a piss take, I really do remember this.(although most of the seventies were a blur).

M&P sell them in the UK (
http://www.mandp.co.uk/products/list/Bo ... or-Buzzers) so I'd say they were OK.
What's to stop blind people crossing the road near a reversing wagon? The sounds from an indicator buzzer or reversing wagon are different from a pelican crossing.
