It all took quite a while.\u00a0 As first I thought (proudly) it must be because she\u2019s a bit of a beast.\u00a0 Then as other cars flew along the system and my baby remained at first base I assumed that her handler was just a slow coach or maybe he was still in training.\u00a0 People left the viewing gallery to collect their cars and my baby was still stuck.<\/p>\n<p>I began to get a sick feeling in my stomach.\u00a0 She was failing.\u00a0 There was no doubt.\u00a0 I had to leave.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t watch anymore.\u00a0 It was like being at the kids sports day and watching your baby come last in the Junior Infants race.\u00a0 I was mortified and sad.\u00a0 So very, very sad.<\/p>\n<p>And to make matters worse I had begun to live tweet my first experience of the NCT, thinking I would be wildly entertaining and sure that at the end I could boast tweet \u201cPassed.\u00a0 Of course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But instead the tweeting stopped.\u00a0 As I went outside to watch my baby coming out of that horrible garage I just wanted to take her home and promise her she would never, ever had to have men poking and prodding her every again.\u00a0 I was handed the form which said fail and the man explained why.\u00a0 It was nothing major.\u00a0 But a fail is a fail, right?<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say himself was delighted. \u00a0He got ANOTHER go at the NCT.\u00a0 And this time she passed.\u00a0 But dear gentle readers, if you like your car and if you\u2019ve never been through the National Car Test\u2026 well brace yourself.\u00a0 It may not be pleasant.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Barbara Scully is a freelance journalist and broadcaster based in Dublin.
