The RSA seem\u00a0to think it&#8217;s time to change the law writes\u00a0Suzanne Keane.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Under current legislation in Ireland private cars that were first registered before 1980 do not need to hold a valid NCT cert (or equivalent). However the RSA will be reviewing this exemption over the coming months to bring it in line with EU legislation. The options below that they are considering will allow Vintage Cars which are used just for social and domestic purposes to remain exempt (Any vehicle being used for commercial purposes will require a roadworthiness test)! The options the RSA are looking at are outlined below \u2013<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Exempt Vehicles Used for Social and Domestic Purposes which were First Registered Prior to 1st January 1960 from Compulsory Roadworthiness Testing<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Exempt Vehicles Used for Social and Domestic Purposes which were First Registered Prior to 1st January 1980 from Compulsory Roadworthiness Testing<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Exempt Vehicles Used for Social and Domestic Purposes which are 40 years old or more from Compulsory Roadworthiness Testing<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Exempt Vehicles Used for Social and Domestic Purposes which are 30 years old or more from Compulsory Roadworthiness Testing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><em>So why shouldn\u2019t all vehicles have to undergo a roadworthiness test?<\/em><\/strong> The NCT as it currently exists has been specifically designed for testing cars over 4 years old. Many of the safety systems they test don\u2019t exist in older vehicles or don\u2019t work to the same extent (lamp focusing etc.). An NCT is also hard going on a vintage engine \u2013 have you ever notice how engines are revved up for emissions testing or how the suspension test shakes a car? Put simply, one size doesn\u2019t fit all. Even with a more modern vehicle for example &#8211; a 4 wheel drive car\u2019s brakes cannot be tested inside the test centre!<\/p>\n<p>However the RSA are proposing that any testing carried out reflects the period in which the vehicle was built \u2013 i.e. a Vintage car will produce higher emissions than an \u201ceco\u201d car. There is also a proposal to allow for voluntary testing of exempt vehicles for insurance and road safety purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The EU legislation only allows for exemption of testing for vehicles belonging to the armed forces, law enforcement and the fire service. This could be implemented in that only a minimal level of testing would need to be carried out on a vintage vehicles \u2013 Identification, Brakes, Steering, Visibility, Lights, Electrics, Axles, Wheels, Tyres, Suspension, Chassis, Seat belts (if fitted). The legislation also sets minimum standards for inspection of Noise &amp; Emissions and this would need to be carried out with the year of manufacture in mind. However it does also state that Vehicles of historic interest could be exempt and that a member state can establish their own testing standards for same!<\/p>\n<p>The RSA are looking for public feedback on this so if you\u2019d like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsa.ie\/Documents\/Vehicle%20Std%20Leg\/Consultations\/Roadworthiness_Testing_of_Vintage_Vehicles_Consultation_Document.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">more information click here<\/a> or to have your voice heard download the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsa.ie\/Documents\/Vehicle%20Std%20Leg\/Consultations\/Roadworthiness_Testing_of_Vintage_Vehicles_Response_Form.doc\" target=\"_blank\">response form from here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Closing date for submissions is <strong>14<sup>th<\/sup> November 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Please send consultation responses to:\u00a0Vintage Vehicles Consultation,\u00a0RSA Vehicle Standards Division,\u00a0Moy Valley Business Park,\u00a0Primrose Hill,\u00a0Ballina,\u00a0Co.
