In Ireland All cars must undergo a test of roadworthiness once they are
4 years old. They need to be retested only every 2 years. This is the
NCT (National Car test) .
Car
Insurance discs are also issued by car insurance companies and
must also be displayed in the windscreen. This makes it much easier to
spot cars that are illegally on the road.
All vehicles
must be taxed - see the car tax rates
in Ireland
You can drive in Ireland on a full UK driving licence and those from most
EU countries too.
There is no legal requirement to get an Irish licence - although some
insurance companies will increase rates for UK licence holders. USA
driving permit holders will need to undergo a test in order to drive in
Ireland if they are going to live here.
Vehicle
