as long as you have the booking with you i dont think it will be a problem , and besides i don't think you will be trhe only one with an expired NCT there

a lot of that was scaremongering, nothing was heard of it since. apparently they give you a warning to get a booking forst, and if they catch you again and you haven't booked anything - then they might do something.

You're gonna have to make this choice yourself Chris. Get a retest booked in the interim which will cover you.

Book a retest, once you have proof you're just waiting for a date you should be fine.

ok guys, this is the road trip plan....
I'm using google earth as a template.
you can download it here.
http://earth.google.com/download-earth.htmlOpen her up and add a "PlaceMark" (Ctrl+Shift+P)
This first placemark is the meet location - Athlone East (outside Dominos)
Add in the following...
Latitude : 53°24'38.71"N
Longatitude : 7°53'36.34"W
A nice sort-ish drive is to Portumna
Latitude : 53° 5'20.29"N
Longatitude : 8°13'15.73"W
This is a 56k drive
A longer drive is to Lough Derg
Latitude : 52°55'30.25"N
Longatitude : 8°16'33.59"W
This is a 74k trip
If there are no objections im going to select the short option and meet in the castle
