No driving tests without valid NCT, says union 

The only way of ensuring that a vehicle is safe and roadworthy is when it has a valid NCT certificate, said Fórsa assistant general secretary Derek Kelleher

People must have a valid NCT on their cars to sit the driving test from today after a trade union dug in on what it called a "health and safety issue".

It follows an instruction from Fórsa, which represents the vast majority of the 130 or so driver testers at Road Safety Authority (RSA) test centres around the country, to only conduct driving tests in vehicles with valid NCT discs.
