Okay, that looks pretty clear - no front and rear position lamps = no need to have headlights.
Now, if you can just point me to the paragraph that shows an exemption from front and rear position lamps during the day I'll concede that anyone running a daytime mot is complying with the relevant legislation.
Maybe my eyes aren't what they used to be, but the only exemption from any position lamp I could find was this
Type of lamp or reflector - Front position lamp
Exceptions - A solo motor bicycle fitted with a headlamp.
So, you can run a bike without a front position lamp so long as it has a headlight...
There are, however, no exemptions from having at least one rear position lamp and matched pairs front and rear on a four wheeler.
Someone show me the exemption from the mandatory position lamps during daylight hours and I'll be happy that everything's hunky dory.
