Up to 16,000 drivers are waiting for NCTs and some can't get appointments until August.

One listener, Karen from Dublin, called in to say that while her NCT recently expired the next available test date she could get was in August:

“So I had a look just to see how soon I’d be able to get [one]; my new date should be May 19th but the closest I’ve been able to get is towards the end of August.“I had a look around, there’s a few options near me; I could have gone to three centres - they’re all the same.

“There’ll be hundreds of thousands of us driving around the country with an expired NCT,” Karen continued.
