Ok to Drive while mudwing ripped off?

ROG:

Gillberry:
You had a defect code and drove straight to the place that was to fix the problem , it is no different from your car being out of mot and you driving to the test station where you booked it in . If you had been stopped you could prove you reported the defect and where you were booked in for repair .

The exception to that is if it is UNSAFE to do so

Yes forgot to mention that bit as obviously serious defects require a tow .
