Just quoting form the MOT regulations..... "SPEEDOMETER This inspection applies to all vehicles. The following devices are not suitable as a speedometer:- a) Those manufactured for bicycles, b) Those that rely on GPS, c) Those that require switching as a separate function to that of operating the vehicle, d) Those that have a separate power source from the vehicle, or e) Those that do not operate as an automatic function when the vehicle is driven."

a) It's not made for bicycles b) It doesn't rely on GPS c) There's no switching involved in order for it to function d) It shares the vehicles power source via the OBD2 e) It operates as an automatic function when the vehicle is driven. What they would seem to be legislating against are GPS units that run off internal batteries and require switching on and off manually. |

Thanks guys, so there is a bit of confusion or doubt, hopefully an MOT person might clear it up when they pass by. Dont like the idea of pulling out binnacle and dismantling perspex to stick figures on dial!

Spoke to an MOT guy, (government run here) wasn't happy about an OBD attached HUD, so as per other thread, sticking figures on dial.
