I'm not certain, but they are tested during an MOT so I would be very suprised if it is legal. If you do drive without them it may be useful to give arm signals (they're in the highway code). Most people will probably just think you're mad though.

The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989

Reg 23

(A) a defective lamp, reflector, dim-dip device or headlamp levelling device on a vehicle in use on a road between sunrise and sunset, if any such lamp, reflector or device became defective during the journey which is in progress

OR

if arrangements have been made to remedy the defect with all reasonable expedition

Note that direction indicator is not included in these later exemptions but 'lamp' is.

If one looks at the definition of 'direction indicator' under the Regs then it says this:

Direction indicator" - a lamp on a vehicle used to indicate to other road users that the driver intends to change direction to the right or to the left.

So an indicator is a lamp and the exemption (A) above applies.

Under the Regs front fog lamps are optional not mandatory as indicators are. Under Reg 23 they are not listed as a lamp to be maintained so no offence if they are missing.

OK drive in daylight only until your arrangements get it sorted

dvd.

Just make sure that you use the correct hand signals!

We'll all be looking out for you... newish VW and driver using hand signals... shouldn't be difficult to spot!! :-)
