If it gets the trash cars off the road which are usually untaxed, uninsured and drive off after an accident undetected as the car is not registered, i am all for it. But i bet it will be the registered owners who they target as its a cert they can extract money from them unlike the above who cannot be traced easily. |

They should send some of those folks up here and get them to have a look at some of the cars with Polish numberplates! |

Now you mention it, i've noticed a few more of these cars too. There are several at a Polish hand car wash near were i live and they have been there months. With foreign plates i guess its less likely they will get stopped as they are deemed to be tourists. I wonder how many vehicles permanently staying in this country are foreign plated cars with no tax or insurance from country of origin? |

Quite a few I should think. An ex-colleague of mind had a bit of a rear end shunt in the local supermarket car park not so long back. It was a Polish driver in a Polish registered car. He claimed to have insurance but the company had never heard of him or his vehicle and therefore couldn't pay out.
