    It'll never be taken off you. If its completely unsafe then they'll tell you that you can't drive it home.
    If you do then they notify the gardai

    Failed the NCT yesterday with a braking imbalance of 86%. Am really annoyed because I had the car serviced 4 - 6 weeks ago, had brake pads/discs replaced and my mechanic told me that the clutch needs replacing. I didn't think the car was driving well and put it down to the clutch problem; clutch is stiff but the car was vibrating at 100kms +. As I know nothing about cars could anyone advise me before I go back to the mechanic? How big a problem to align the brakes is it? the stats read
    parking brake (nearside) 0.180 kN and offside 1.320 kN
    parking brake effort 13%

    Handbrake but what car have you?
