The National Car Test backlog

Offering a solution

Sir, – There’s a simple and sensible solution to the NCT testing backlog. Thanks to evolving technology, cars manufactured in recent years are built around remarkably stable systems and components, evidenced by minimal service requirements and lengthy warranty periods. Just allow all cars manufactured since 2015 to skip one test – a two-year moratorium. That should free up enough spaces to eliminate the backlog. – Yours, etc,

JOHN GRIFFIN,
