NCT Ramps Problems

[The Liffey Lip]

No, Hal............they're honouring it just not all in one fell-swoop...........they're not testing your car and saying "on your way Hal"...they're telling you that the test has to continued after a period of time......and they're under no obligation to pas your car either way. That's why I'm wondering if the Ins Fed have intervened to make a statement on where drivers for hire stand in the event of a dispute such as a crash or a claim. Seems very watery altogether. Applus must be gone to ground. I'd say Minister Ross needs to step up from Stepaside.

Taxi reg just change the requirements you need only pass suitability to get taxi licence .NCT only applies to car .

I sought legal advice earlier.....the NCTS and NTA are responsible for any possible losses that i incur(no matter what the fuk they say in statements re no compensating)....it's also important to note that drivers affected should minimise their loss(rent a taxi if possible) and claim for said rental.....also turn up for your NCT and continue with the renewal process...ring to make your LRA appointment....obviously you will be refused but ask for a letter from them stating the reason for refusal...also record date and time and name of the agent you speak with in NTA,in the event of the situation not being rectified before your licence expires you need to show that you've made every effort to renew your licence and minimise your losses.

Good advice there. They give you a reference number when you call NTA, note that as well.

You get the report with FAIL at the top and asked to check for further updates.

Brake test is suspect too - no way everything could measure 0 - that machine must be fucked as well, assuming you didn't put anything in the ashtray.

I don't think they check the brakes on Priuses.Maybe just the parking brake.

[Rat Catcher]

They have figures for performance, service brake down to 88% and parking brake right down to 20% in the report posted.... but the zeros make no sense, even in layman's terms - Car Weight is given as 0 Kg?

Toyota have told/warned them not to use the rolling road on hybrids cos it forces the electric motors to run with the possibility of causing damage.....you won't believe but the brake test is carried out when they drive the car out the exit gate,the reverse it as far as they can ,drive it a short distance and brake....and then drive around the corner to a parking space.

Knew there was something not right about it. That's fair enough I guess, presumably the brakes have to run the motor to charge the batteries or some such...

[mercenary for hire]

The leccy motor is the brakes I think.On mine it has two big leccy motors.One is used as a resistance magnet while braking to regenerate power back to the battery.

Like I said in the Micksgarage thread the calipers only get used below 7mph or emergency stops.Kinda explains the long life of the pads.

I could be confused but right pedal for go and left for stop is all we need to tell the immigrants..
