I tell ya this game is a viscious circle....so.....

I've paid the vrt and it is now on the tax system, it's also on the nct system but no slot available until 16th January.

Now they won't let me insure it until it has an nct cert, I can't drive it to the nct without insurance, and they won't let me tax it without an insurance policy.

How the hell am I finding all this so god damn difficult!

So the only way around it I can see is getting someone with open insurance to drive it to the test, and then insure it and tax it after.

But how do people insure imports that don't have an nct?
