Insurance Ireland members will treat “fast tractors” whose road worthiness tests are technically out of date as valid when renewing their insurance.
Commercial road worthiness tests (CVRTs) and NCTs were suspended suddenly last week due to social distancing concerns. This caused confusion among motorists as a valid CVRT is required when renewing insurance and motor tax.
Minister for Transport Shane Ross welcomed the Insurance Ireland move and said that he has a proposal to extend the validity period for tests expiring between March and July this year by six months.
