I hate the NCT
So you can get penalty points for not having an up to date NCT now? What a load of old cunt.
Here’s how the NCT works. You go in, they put your car through the whatsit, some fucker from Eastern Europe or Kenya tells you that your car ‘kaput, no worky!’ and then you have to go, get the kaput thing fixed, pay again and then you car is all right.
And when you get your NCT it’s supposed to be for two years, yet I had my car NCTd last January and it’s up for renewal at the end of this month.
The whole thing is just a load of rip-off bollocks.
They should give penalty points to the cunts who keep thinking up new ways to give us penalty fucking points.

Ah, so you NCT’d it late.
Would it sicken you to know that I skipped my last one because I couldn’t afford the service, andI slipped through the net, just getting it done now four years later?

As long as we keep re-electing corrupt grubby incompetent fat monkey fucks to office in this country this stuff’s just gonna get worse. And, as always, instead of getting off our arses and doing something about it, we’ll sit around and bitch about it in de pubs an in de back of de taxis. What a fucking joke this country is.

Don’t forget bitching about it on blogs too!

Tim, I completely agree with you, but I have to say, I do enjoy moaning about things without necessarily taking action.
I think proper moaning is so beautiful because it doesn’t have consequences (usually).
April 14th, 2009 at 9:56 am
I find the NCT staff friendly and helpful.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:25 am
The NCT was invented because, supposedly, we were driving loads of old unsafe cars that shouldn’t have been on the road (according to SIMI or some other lobby group). But… BUT they never… NEVER produced statistics to show that old and unsafe cars were involved in a high proportion of accidents.
What we should have is a National Cunt Test with loads of penalty points for the cunts who pass it.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:26 am
They wouldn’t be able to keep up with the glut of tests they’d have to do.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:34 am
fucking noddies driving “safe” cars is the problem, not the cars themselves. if cars were more dangerous, drivers might actually concentrate on driving and not on their phone/breakfast/makeup/newspaper/blowjob. chief safety engineer in daimler benz, when asked few years ago what he would do to make cars safer, replied that the one thing he’d do would be put a big metal spike in the middle of the steering wheel. when asked why, he said that cars were too safe and people paid little or no attention to driving. nct is a joke and has done nothing to make the roads safer – quite the opposite i think

I’ts getting near impossible to just drive a car in this banana republic. Government continue to financially rape people to pay the wages they don’t earn. There will be further penalty points introduced down the line:
1-No radio listening (7points)
2-sunglasses forbidden (6 points)
3-wearing runners whilst drivin banned (8 points)
(a specially made ’safe shoe’ by Government at a cost of only e650 will be enforced on drivers)
Soon you won’t be allowed smile whilst behind the wheel cuz the fucking joy of driving has been slowly eradicated from Irish society.

I have found the NCT to be a valuable source of fault-finding for my car. For example, last year they found Robert DeNiro strapped to the underside of my chassis by his belt. I had been wondering what that rattling noise was, but I’d never have suspected it to be the oscar-winning star of Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Rocky and Bullwinkle.

The NCT was set up to improve road safety. It has now become about generating revenue. Example: Number plates have to conform to certain guidelines regarding the digits and the background. That has absolutely nothing to do with road safety. It is only so that cameras can photograph your plates easily for tolls.

I wonder how many penalty points would you incur for getting your hole while driving?
I bet that fellow found it an expensive poke, though, because fines for traffic offences are proportional to income in Norway and even speeding can cost you tens or hundreds of thousands of euro if you are wealthy enough and don’t kill yourself.
Fines are on-the-spot and every patrol car has a laptop computer with details of everyone’s income in the previous year.
If they ever bring in that system in Ireland, you’ll all have a lot more to bitch about.

You sure it wasn’t an old Bananarama CD?
April 14th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
You don’t have to pay again. I’d the wrong number plates so I went away, got them replaced, showed up to show them that they were replaced and got my form and hit the road. One fee and the cost of new number plates is all.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
You do have to pay again, a smaller fee, if there’s something allegedly wrong with your car mechanically.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
I just stuck my old black and grey plates back on later (the ones which can’t be photographed).
I had lots of stupid shit with other stuff though.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Oh yeah and they don’t accept Zapf Dingbats as a font on number plates.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
“some fucker from Eastern Europe or Kenya tells you that your car ‘kaput, no worky!’”
Nice, would you feel better if he was an Irish fucker?
So I suppose the NCT is just another ploy to give them foreigners our jobs, is that where this is going?
April 14th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Yeah, if that’s the way you’re thinking, go for it

It did come across a bit racist, Twenty.
April 14th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I don’t think that it’s racist to expect somebody who is testing your car and telling you what’s wrong with it to be able to speak English well enough to explain it properly.
I don’t give a shit where anyone’s from. Apart from Romanians.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
That’s a bit sexist.
April 15th, 2009 at 12:51 am
who allowed you to own a car? how are you allowed to drive?
all incomprehensible to me
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:02 am

“And when you get your NCT it’s supposed to be for two years, yet I had my car NCTd last January and it’s up for renewal at the end of this month”
Nct certs run from the cars first date of registration in the country i.e 28/1/00.
if you do not nct the car then or before 2010, the cert will be backdated so you now would only get up until that date. Its the owners onus to get the car nct’d not to rely on notification letters, YOUR fault for only getting one month.
And them so called foreigners are qualified engineers who follow nct spec, which is also international car requirement specs, which the uk follow for MOT. But unfortunately when your banger does not meet this spec it has to be re-tested. you pay for re-tests that involve machinery, not something that takes a second to look at. These people who test them are more than helpful and qualified to do their jobs.
Again this is government legislation NOT nct’s fault. Plus cars need to be safe otherwise we’d die? see am i making sense?
“Here’s how the NCT works. You go in, they put your car through the whatsit, some fucker from Eastern Europe or Kenya tells you that your car ‘kaput, no worky!’ and then you have to go, get the kaput thing fixed, pay again and then you car is all right”
Actually they come out and give you your report explain what you need done and you go on your way. They are technicians not idiots. Also your car is tested for everything not just thrown in for the craic. It costs money but at the end of the day could you put a cost on your life.
Stop ringing up nct or whatever and saying its their fault. Safety comes at a price, but its the government enforcing the law not them. so shut your mouth!!!
April 27th, 2009 at 8:22 am
Seriously this test is a disgrace but you get the government you deserve. Don’t vote for the idiots who think these things up and vote for the party that commits to cut out the crap!
October 13th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
It’s true we are all getting royally fucked over here .Lets give them bastards in the government some sand to put into their fucking vaseline.The N.C.T is a big fucking con I seen some poor woman up there in a piece of shit Daewoo didnt look like she a penny and basically told your car is fucked poor bitch had tears in her eyes.Those fucking polaks testing the cars let them fuck off and get a real job bad as the clampers those cunts
