Driving far & wide to get an MOT: but what happens if you need your car taxed?

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Driving far & wide to get an MOT: but what happens if you need your car taxed?

Linda McAuley talks to a listener who struggled to get an booking, and hears from the DVA

Linda McAuley talks to a listener who struggled to get an booking, and hears from the chief executive of the DVA about MOT capacity and how to get a test if your car needs taxed

Listener Hazel tells Linda McAuley about the stress of struggling to get an MOT test slot booked. And chief executive of DVA, Jeremy Logan, explains how his organisation is continuing to increase test capacity, and how a car owner can book a last minute test to get the MOT they'll need if their car tax is up for renewal.

A nurse explains why her caring responsibilities at home meant she had to give up up work after 36 years: a recent report suggests she is not alone with one in four women cutting their hours to accommodate caring responsibilities and one in three women giving up work early.

People with disabilities face challenges getting into work: Linda hears about support on offer from the NOW Group and chats to three people attending an event to find out about options and opportunities to get help and support into employment.

And being safe in your home isn't just about being safe from fire, from electrical faults, and your personal safety. It's also about staying safe on your devices and online activity.
