Does that mean that all those boy racers with the fancy plates and flashing disco lights under the car fail the NCT as well?
Well spotted NCT guys, the number of accidents that result from an incorrectly spelt number plate must be quite high to rate a fail.
The official translation for the County Louth is "An Lu" - my plates only have "Lu", so the car failed the test.
Did you not read the requirements before you went in that stated the fact that the counties must be named in Irish above the registration number???
Having standards for reg plates is very sensible. We've all seen the boy racers with their italicised 'cool' plates which make it very difficult to catch their number as they zoom past you. So I guess the rule to have the county name spelt correctly is just one of a set of rules to ensure the reg plate meets the standard. Without such rules, you are going to have the NCT tester making a judgement call regarding what level of mis-spelling is acceptable (e.g. An Liu, An Loo, Lucy Liu etc etc). IF this were the case, we'd have the whingers squeeling on AAM about those terrible NCT men who let their neighbour through but failed them for a different misspelling. The simple way around this is to set the standard, and you either get it right or you fail.the NCT is there to ensure that cars are roadworthy, the incorrect spelling of the name on a plate has no bearing on the roadworthiness of the car from a safety point of view.

Couldn't argue with that.Seems like a bit of pointless redundancy to me.
