Irish NCT driver warning over defect that could land you with €5,000 fine or in prison

Irish motorists are being urged to be aware of a number of rules in place on roads, which if broken could land them a fine in the thousands.

The state of your vehicle is one of the most important things to be aware of, as driving a vehicle that is defective can cost you a pretty penny, even driving with some worn-out tyres can cost drivers a few hundred.

Although every vehicle in the country has to undergo an NCT to make sure that it is roadworthy, ensuring that Ireland is only full of roadworthy vehicles - sometimes people let this slip, which can endanger themselves and others.
