If you've suspended your PSV insurance (as I have) it makes sense to suspend your licence. Currently you need to email taxis@nationaltransport.ie to request a suspension. The lady on the phone said you can choose one, two or three months. I went for one for the time being as that is all Axa is currently suspending policies for. I guess I can apply for further suspensions in due course in any event.

Why suspend licence rat?
-
Whats the benifit of suspending your licence Rodent why not just uncouple from the app leaving your licence valid .In my case there is no charge as I have been offered 3 months extension at no charge as my licence lapses this month ..If you suspend your licence for two months will the renewal be pushed out by two months .So why suspend your licence ?
-
If your renewal isn't in the next few months you won't automatically get an extension. You vehicle doesn't need to be licensed - in fact the licence is not valid - if the vehicle isn't insured as a SPSV.

So will they refund you pro rata .Whats the benifit of suspending your licence ?
-
Do yis know If I opt for 3 months how difficult is it to get reactivated before then?

What benifit are you acrewing by suspending your licence .
-
She didn't say, MFH. I suspended my mortgage last week for 3 months and they made it clear there's no going back. Fortunately they didn't ask about Mrs. Catcher's income at all, just got he to "verbally sign" what, in effect, was my application. We've since found out that Mrs. C will most likely be paid in full for getting under my feet all day... ah well!
-

Will you need to complete another Suitability to reactivate your licence ?
-

Effectively, yes. The renewal date will be pushed back so you're not paying for months you're not using.
-
Will you need to complete another Suitability to reactivate your licence ?
No. It is automatically reactivated once the suspension period has expired. As above, I don't know if there's any option to reactivate it during that period.
-

Effectively, yes. The renewal date will be pushed back so you're not paying for months you're not using.
Do you have a Link Please or is this just supposition ?
-
My licence expires towards the end of May.I'm getting paid off the state for 12 weeks at least so no real rush back on the road.
My thinking is they might tack on another three months to the 15 year rule as we were/are in difficult times.My Car is 15 in March 2021 and the end of it's life.Even though it's fine except for the dirt on it.
-
You may telephone 0761 064000 to confirm anything you doubt or don't understand, erm.
-
I sent an email to them yesterday,no reply and when i rang it said they were closed.
-
They were probably closed when you rang. If you're with Axa (and I know you are) you must inform NTA if you have suspended your PSV insurance (and I know you have) and you must break the driver/vehicle link on the Trade app and you must remove the roof sign from your car. I guess you can put yours in your shed.
-
I can see from here that you haven't done at least one of those...
-
Yeah...i can't break the link cos i can't access the app....will have to ring...i was actually holding but needed to do something..
-
Just got on to the NTA (phone call ) broke link then on to BJP who gave me a number for AXA in Derry.no problem 60% off
-
Yeah...i can't break the link cos i can't access the app....will have to ring...i was actually holding but needed to do something..
Ring Now.
-
Wats the problem just phoning insurance and getting private and saying fuk all to nobody....why get caught up in technicality regarding licence and possibly creating work and expenses down the line wen things improve.....the rules are gone ere out the window and my only worry would be with the insurance companies trying to take advantage if you break a contract as we all know they are crooks and gangsters running a cartel in ireland ...
-
And wat savings is ther to be had by postpone licence?
Dont understand this
-
Ocky .Obviously the cost of taxi insurance is considerably more then ordinary motor insurance.now because there are drivers who are not working as taxi drivers at the moment,they cannot be expected to pay taxi rates.so you should ring the NTA and break the link,declaring your car to be an ordinary car for the duration of covid 19 then when you have done that ,you ring your insurance company telling them you have rang the NTA and broken the link,and then they will give you a rate as an ordinary motorist,and not a taxi.I saved 60% by doing this
-
Its also a good way to prove you were not working and picking up the 350 a week as well if questions are asked at a later stage
-
Axa never asked me to break any link.The NTA want us to break it because they can mark us off the list when they're trying to catch an outbreak after someone comes into contact with us..They obviously believe there's a bigger threat to our health but some hospitals and wheelchair folks depend on us to get to appointments.
-
Lots of alcos need us to get to the off licence and shops and chemists.But taxis are way cheaper than using two qualified paramedics and an ambulance that they're already short of.

By unlinking from the NTA driver check you are effectively suspending your licence, as you are not permitted to work.

Well I dont know about you lot,but I believe when the post Morton's are held after this is all over,and the cunts out there who are working and claiming the 350 a week.by breaking the link at least I will be able to prove I wasnt working and claiming at the same time.it is no big deal to re establish the link anyway its only a phone call

Axa made me do it.
-
Maybe it depends on the bloke on the phone.I had to drop in the cert with something in writing to amend the policy.Nothing else asked.
-
It was a lady. I have to ring back on the 20th if I'm still alive.

in fairness I'd say all you need to show that you were not working is a bank statement. I'd say around 60% of customers are using card. No card payments.. No work.
-
Why are some of yis reluctant to break the link ?its no big deal,just a phone call,and another to re establish it
-
Unless you have a lucrative private hire business .....nobody is earning fuk all driving a taxi ....this payment was made because of the collapse in business and loss of income....anyone driving around looking for people to put ther hand out is off ther head or a slow in the head ......but this payment was made to all regardless if you still attempted to make money ...
..again yous are all using the old rules that apply in peace time if I can use that phrase ....
I'll be askin for private insurance but I'll want a letter or email saying it wont impact me no claims down the line .....

Sure theres 100s of drivers out there not on the portal at any given time not just when the pix hit and nothing was ever done about it
-
Lizzy I'm the most cautious person you could meet when it comes to messing about with this kind of stuff.even when I was off the road for 3 months recently I continued to pay it for fear of complications later.I have done it this time though, because I have been assured by both the NTA,and AXA there is absolutely no problem.its only a phone call to the NTA to re establish the link when you want to,and the same with the insurance company.I honestly believe when things settle down and normally is restored questions are going to be asked about which drivers worked,and claimed the 350 at the same time,and I just feel this is a way of covering my arse.that may not happen,but it cost nothing to cover yourself

Did the NTA tell us to do it?
Unless they catch you working nothing will happen.
-
Its not the NTA you need to worry about catching you,its the dept of social protection.when all this is over,and things are normal again,I guarantee all those hungary poxes out there claiming the 350,and working ,will be screwed.this will happen when the civil service are back on familier ground,when all rhey do is stand around scratching their bollox looking to screw someone.I hope those. hungary pox spreading cunts are the first to feel their wrath
-
Maybe I'm wrong, but if I would like to think that if I found myself undergoing and surviving life threatening/saving surgery, that following recovery, that result would remove all the feelings of venomous hate for other humans, be they despatch company operators or dole cheats or even the wife.

Ya see thats why your only a shilling,and you'll never be a pound Bob Shilling

John associates himself with your comments,yet he has posted the most hateful comments imaginable against president Trump.need I say more ?
-
He has not yet undergone/survived life threatening surgery.
-
John associated himself with the derogatory comments you made reasonably about me.in doing so,he suggested that anyone who has been in my position should not have hate fueled feelings.I pointed out to John is a champion at expressing hate feuled feelings,even to the point that he wants president Trump assassinated.you cant get much more hate filled. feelings then that
-
Just missed out on this deal, licence is up early July, deal is up to June 16th.
-
What deal ?
-
SPSV vehicle licences which entered or were due to enter an expired status between 13th March and 12th Junehave had their validity automatically extended by NTA for a period of 3 months, at no cost to the vehicle owner. A notification of this has been issued directly to each vehicle licence holder.

He, like I, mused that he would be a changed personality having survived such surgery

Hate for Trump I dont do hate .Trump is a danger to the World he should be eliminated just like Rats in your Kitchen .

Daily ..not going happen in my humble opinion ....wat will happen is the government will put a new charge on the tax bill for the self employed next year to recoup the money... theyll call it self employed social welfare contribution....or self employed insurance or something ....
-
Minister Humphries has already made it clear anyone who flaunts the law,in this way,will be subject to the full rigours of justice
-
Bob shilling .again I will say it.John M associated himself with the derogatory comments you made presumably about me,and your observation about how my outlook on life should be different having survived surgery right ? by doing so,he endorses everything you said right ? I simply pointed out to you,the last person on this forum who should be lecturing me about hate,is the erm considering the hate filled comments he regularly post about the president of the united states.everything from a steaming pile of shite,to being the greatest cunt that ever lived,to urging the CIA to assassinate their president then he has the ball to say he doesn't do hate,which can therefore only support my previous posts that I already told you all John really likes the president ,but cant admit it
-
Trump will be judged by history with Hitler .Poll Pot ,Stalin he is a vile useless cunt .He represents New Politics just like the other Boys did .His Right wing Nationalism has spread to other cunts Like Bolsanaro in Brazil .Orban in Hungry .That other Cunt in India and his deciples in Artane .

Rented a car for a week while my old car was being repaired, forgot to re-link when I got it back, 2 days later was fined €40 at the airport for not being linked
-
Isnt it fantastic thay president Trump s popularity has spread to all these countries you mentioned John.and Boris,dont forget Boris

Well there's a reason Trump played down the Pandemic. Oligarch (rich) bribers of malfeasant subversive Republican party kleptocrats (thieves) needed time to sell stocks before market crash. While employed by company it would have been illegal to sell large amounts of their stock holdings. They had to resign first so they could sell large holdings of their companies stock before the stock market crash outcome of Corona virus pandemic. THEY SHOULD BE PROSECUTED for their insider trading crimes and collusion with Trump administration:

Aren't they very clever ?

If all that is true there has to be a serious Stewards Inquiry.
