the UK perfectly good and honest garages can be appointed to do the MOT (NCT) without all this hassle.
My NCT is up 22nd January. I went online and the Greenhills Rd facility has no availability until March. I rang on Monday, couldn't get an answer. So sent an email - no reply (Ive always booked via email). Next day rang again, no answer, tried again in afternoon, got through! No apts until March. They asked for my number and email, and said they would ring me back if they got a cancellation. I queried the issue with Penalty points, and asked could they give me a statement indicating they could not provide me with an apt - in case I got stopped. Advised that they would not do that - and advised me that they would not recommend I drive without a valid NCT. I will ring back again, and email to show that I am making every effort to participate in the system in place.
Why did you wait until 2 weeks before your expiry?
something of a relief to see that the gardai are "taking a common sense approach"....
It's just a shame to think we can't take a "common sense approach" to solving the problem permanently, either open more NCT centres or else make the ones that are open, into 24/7 facilities.
