On another note. This thing with the insurance about just insuring is not as straight forward as first thought. You can do it alright, but there is a bit of messing around with it. I thought you just break the link with your car by calling the NTA, and then calling the insurance company to tell them also. It seems there is no problem with the ins company, the problem is with the NTA. .they want you to take of the disks, send them to some address, re sit the suitability for the purposes of having new disks fitted, etc there is more Shiite as well but I can't remember what she told me

Legally when you downgrade insurance from taxi to private, the license is no longer valid. its all red tape. just dont tell them nowt, what they dont know
wont hurt them!

I'm afraid your idea , and my idea of hero's differ greatly, but however we are  all entitled to our opinion

Did you upgrade your motor tax from Taxi to private and return the tax disc .If you remember a Supreme Court judge ruled in the Dereg case that a taxi licence holder legally does not need to operate the taxi .So I own a taxi vehicle but I do not operate it as a taxi but its still a taxi vehicle .

[john m]

Do you need to remove the door decals as well ?

It depends what you mean by smart. The guys who are not working at the moment are not doing so because of the obvious health risks, and the guys who are working are obviously doing it for the money I think it's only fair to say the next few weeks will determine who was the smart ones

I'm staying at home for the money, no other reason, simply not economic to work while there's €350 a week on offer, the lads out working are heroes, I'll not have a bad word said about them!

The Priest will say that at their funerals .

Far safer than Tescos!

I would think there are more infected people in Tesco on a daily basis than there are in hospital .

Who said you have to do another suitability test, DM? The decals are refitted FOC and you are legally obliged to inform NTA if you no longer have taxi insurance.

[john m]

As soon as I get my new insurance disc from my insurers ill inform the taxithingey .

[taxi1990]

when you start working again, you have to drive to your local spsv centre, where they fit new discs, free of charge.

What if they're still closed?

That's what the lady in the NTA told me also....but she didn't expand on how suspending my licence would benefit me as my car is due to be changed next Feb and as of yet no decision has been made in relation to extensions being given in these exceptional times other than the measure that they have for public consultation that will only benefit licence holders who are due to change vehicle up to Dec 31st.

She told you you have to pass another suitability test?

The benefit to you is saving money on insurance. With Axa you can suspend or downgrade your policy hence saving 100% or 60% of the monthly premium.

That is why im not gonna post them back. i told them my taxi will be parked up anyway, what is the point in posting them back?

Nah.....no new suitability,

I've already reduced my monthly insurance payments from €203 to €80,the NTA lady broke my driver link but i didn't suspend my taxi licence as having to reschedule an appointment to get new tamper proof discs wasn't worth the hassle for the sake of €12.50 per month unless i'm missing something else of impoertance.
