NCT operator told to trial new suspension test

Road safety chiefs have directed the NCT operator to trial a new vehicle suspension test after a grieving mother’s campaign exposed potentially deadly flaws in the system.

The Irish Examiner can reveal that the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has required NCT contractor Applus, in conjunction with its equipment supplier, to develop a “new suspension tester”, to trial it through a large-scale pilot project, and assess it by June 2021.
