Madam, - After reading Kevin Myers's Irishman's Diary of November 30th, and having recently submitted a car for the NCT, it crosses my mind to wonder if - all things being mechanically sound - a lorry with the potentially lethal blind spot described by Mr Myers would be passed and a car which failed to have the county name inscribed in Irish on the licence plate be failed? - Is mise,
