Yep i agree, They obviously have a lot of spare time on their hands

  not the best but rules are rules!!

Guarantee that is to stop those trying to bypass the "minimum distance apart" reg.

Donkey, they are not new RFR's, just a clarification of what's been in place for a very long time. The integrated indicators that affect the operation of the brake light (and vise versa) have always been a fail,  so have led indicators where at least 50% of the light source is not working. There's ways round everything but it's certainly nothing new. 

[Rainey]

In future disconnect your indicators, if they are not there they cannot be tested... i think lol

[NinjaPaul]

If they are fitted though dont they have to be working? So just unplugging them would still be a fail, you'd have to completely remove them altogether, front and rear. 

[HammyUK]

If it's there then it MUST work.
Regardless of what "IT" is.

Could be wrong but pretty sure that after a certain year indicators must be fitted and its not just a question of removing the switch etc, Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men , all MOT inspectors should follow this !

From what i understand, it has to be there if it was produced with it...

Thats what my MOT tester told me last month. I think its an attempt to completely eradicate daytime mot's other than on things like trail bikes.

I personally have always hated those combi brake/indicator units, I think there dangerous and if involved in an accident because of use with one of them I don't think it would work out in the owners favor.

If I remember correctly bikes pre 1985 are allowed to be passed if the indicators and switch are not present, post 1985 they must have indicators unless they are going for a daytime MOT.  I could be wrong though.

Bit like the headlights,if you have noticed for the last 7 years or so bikes no longer come with a headlight switch as some ruling somewhere says the headlight must be on when the engine is running.
