Can I drive a car with broken indicators (in daylight)

[Hades]

I might need to drive another car that has issues with the indicators. The alarm is fubar, causing two of the indicators to stay on. I'm wondering if I can just unscrew the affected indicator bulbs and drive it with hand signals.

Anyone have any idea? If I attempt this then I'll obvioiusly be double checking with my nearest police station just to be 100% sure.

If you do, put a large sign in the back window, "Hand Signals Only". Then I'm sure you'd be fine.

Thanks, great idea.

As a rule of thumb I go by whether or not a car would get through an MOT in it's current state. Non functioning indicators are a failure.

Also thanks but it's a one-off drive home if I like the car, at which point I'd get it fixed. So I'm after the actual legal standpoint. Things are won or lost if you know the legal standpoint, hence winning appeals against every car parking ticket I've been issued
