Driving a damaged car... slight variation

[aldi]

Following on from the P&P thread, if I was to drive a Nissan Primera from Edinbrough to Stoke-on-Trent with no tailgate and a caravan-style lightbar for rear lights would I be OK? Assuming the MOT is still in date and it's insured?

IIRC wouldn't having the tailgate missing expose you to the exhaust fumes? I recall being told that driving with the boot open (large load for example) poses such a risk.

If that turned out to be the case I'm sure I could come up with some combination of window openings that eliminated it, failing that I could take along a tarp to cover the opening?

This is the kind of thing re: the lightbar: Halfords
