Boys & Girls,
Did ye hear the latest farce with the NCT ??! From the 1st of December any car without an NCT will receive a 3 point penalty
at the roadside from the Gardai. Previously if you have a test date booked, you would be waved on. No more ! Vehicles with
test dates booked but with no valid NCT are liable for 3 penalty points. So basically what they are saying is that if a vehicle
has no NCT then it's not to be used on the road under any circumstances.
The disgraceful thing about all this is that there is a huge waiting list as regards NCT appointments. I was waiting over two
months for my last appointment. I'm all for being legal and complying with the law but I think this is a bit much especially with
the current state of the NCT system and it's backlog. If people could get a test appointment straight away or near as then it
wouldn't be so bad but that's not the case.
