Have you reduced your insurance, notified the NTA as such, and returned your Tamper proof discs???

Yes I did break the link,yes I did reduce mycover, yes I did return my tamper proof discs and sent an E-Mail , got a phone call back a few days later to confirm my licence suspended for 3 months and an e-mail confirming same.
Under Section 17 of the Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016, whenever a SPSV licence is suspended you must do the following immediately;
1. Remove the roof sign from your vehicle (Taxi/Wheelchair Accessible Taxi).
2. Remove NTA tamper proof discs from front and rear windows of your vehicle.
3. Within 21 days, return NTA tamper-proof discs AND the SPSV Licence Certificate to -

Maybe there is a connect between the NTA and the insurance industry ?

Well I thought the same thing,but I spoke to my broker last week to find out what the situation would be In that regard,and he absolutely guaranteed me that neither he,( the broker) nor the insurance company would be revealing any such information to anybody..he more or less said under DATA protection he would not have the right to do it anyway

I’m sure it goes to a central DB as they say the insurance companies share information. And even the Gardai know when a car isn’t insured. So although your insurance may not tell the NTA, they may tell the national DB which the NTA may have access to
-
Well even so,I cant understand why the NTA are acting the bollox making drivers return these stinkers,and an appointment to get new ones asfar as im concerned they can fukk right off,I have enough to be doing trying to protect myself from the virus
-
DM, point taken about GDPR regulations but sure dont the NTA/SGS or whatever there called have access to your Tax Clearance info.
-
Yes,but I will restore my full taxi status when im ready to go back to work,so I dont see a problem as long as I do it before my next suitability

You won’t have to go to an SGS center to get the stickers back on. They are doing house calls for AFAIK.
They have 29 personnel set up and ready to do this.

As i posted in a different thread....the Dept of Justice inform the NTA if SPSV insurance has been removed from your taxi.....as previously said the NTA have access to know if you have tax clearance,they also know if you've passed your NCT prior to giving you a date for a suitability test.

This is an extract from the mail i received after i applied for the suspension....i didn't tell them i had removed the SPSV element from my insurance....they informed me,don't be deluding yourself thinking they know fukall,
Following your application to NTA for the above mentioned licence to be placed into a period of suspension, NTA confirms that this SPSV vehicle licence is now suspended for a period of ONE MONTH, until 19/05/2020. The licence is being suspended as there is currently no SPSV insurance cover on this vehicle.

Sure they have to give a reason for suspending, and most people probably qouted that as a reason. Why else will anyone suspend at this time apart from spsv cover.

Am the same dalymount. I think i may take my chances as am hoping maybe i wll be back in june. No need to send them too late for me maybe. I think they wont bother at suitability, or they’ll tell you when you make appointment.

I think Apluis+ have the contract these days. They operate from NCTS centres not SGS centres.

Technically you have been an illegal since you reduced insurance cover. What makes you think you can drive around with taxi licence discs on a private car?
-
Well I wouldnt be doung that if I go back on full cover
-
Maybe... maybe not. I think the insurance firms are obliged to report lapsed/reduced cover to Dept of Justice. If they get a report of yours having been reduced and pass that to NTA, NTA may not process it until after you restore full cover and will then lapse or suspend your licence from the date you reduced the cover... they won't reactivate it automatically so you could still end up as an illegal... all because you seem to think the rules don't apply to you.
-
Of course the rules apply to me,I have not said they didnt.

Minister without a seat Ross says the SGS car testing centers wont reopen soon due to social distancing .I wonder if the ramps are still fucked and it cheaper to keep the kip closed until they can fully open .

You worry too much!
Somebody here said the NTA told them to hold back on returning the stickers?
I cant find the post

They had an advert I read it Dont think it required City and Guilds just level 5 spanner twirling and oil changing .

I'd say the only enjoyment you'd get as a tester would be failing someone....monotonous job!!
