I know somebody else who failed it because they had newspapers strewn across the backseat!!!
to flap and flutter around the interior like a paper pterodactyl and the spine could just settle on the bridge of driver's nose like a big tent
I know what you mean, but if you were observed during your smoking ritual by a garda who decided you were not driving with due care and attention (not looking at road/hands off the wheel etc - whatever) you could still be done anyway.
Wonder what happens if you get pulled over on your way to the test centre?
My car (4 years old) failed it's first nct on emmissions - way over the limit. I couldn't believe it and insisted the mechanic check it again, what do you know - ten minutes later the emmissions are way below what is necessary to pass! I asked how this could happen and wasn't given an answer, just an indecipherable grunt and a shrug. Good job I didn't accept the first result.
Now this I have an issue with.
Hubby brought car for NCT test,it needed some minor stuff done.
According to the hubby it was to be brought back by May 29th,so off we went and got the failed things sorted.
I go to the NCT centre this morning and was told I was supposed to have it back by the 27th and not the 29th! to avail of the free check.Fair enough ,our fault,
Now I have to go for the full thing again!
This seems to be a money making racket,when it was only done a few weeks ago,up to two days ago it would have been a free check for the failed items,but as it was 2 days out it has to go through the whole system again.Surely this is a waste of the testers time,a waste of taxpayers money,and when so many people are trying to get their cars tested with the new penalty points system it seems crazy.
We were in the wrong by not getting the date right,my issue is why it has to have a complete check again.
I just dont get that.
Help me understand.
A lot of people I know just change their car when the NCT is due, because its less hassle!
Really? Seems like a very extravagant solution!

well done NorthDrum on your car passing. ( did it pass on it's own or did you pay for it to pass lol )
Go out anyway doesn't matter what the reson is.
