Foreign registered road tax dodgers

Vehicles with foreign number plates
I teach English as a Foreign Language and many of my students have told me that they have Polish, German, Latvian registered registrations because it is cheaper to pay road tax there.

I don't know about you but I am growing sick of the number of foreign registered vehicles on UK roads. We should adopt the same system as Austria, one that makes it impossible to dodge road tax.

| 10-11-2008 | Once again we see the British government happy to help all those immigrants that come in to our country and allow them to fleece it any way they can. On the other hand, the Brit who was born and bred here and has been here 30, 40, 50 years or more are the real victims in this country. They are the o...more | MERCENARY |
| 19-10-2008 | I agree about the Polish, they are hard working and decent people, and I will be sorry to see them go. I cannot say the same for many African migrants and asylum seekers, especially the Somali's, they really are the pits. | Twattymulldoonican |
| 26-9-2008 | Don't think the DVLA will help out. They are another bunch of clowns that don't have a clue.
I applied for my SORN on line, was informed that it will take 6-8 weeks to arrive. That was 9 months ago. I managed to get in touch with them and you'll never guess what, no record of it. ...more | Robbie Box |
| 26-9-2008 | Bonjour Asterix,
Unfortunately your analysis of the UK is spot on.
We have inept politicians because we vote them in and then do nothing about their woeful performance once in power - apathy rules. Dross Labour is a bad joke.
Many Britsh people, including myself, admire the French - while I do al...more | Deliverance |
| 21-9-2008 | What can I say !!!!!
I`m not polish but french.
And you are right...
We do not bother about fine , camera , and mot , road tax ....
But this is only because of the british way of governemt.
But I think before you come to this .. You should look at what happen in this country... All t...more | Asterix |
| 03-9-2008 | Agree with the author. It's is not about singling out any particular group and I don't think that's the tenor of his argument. The article simply highlights yet another case of people being in a position to exploit loopholes in an inadequate British system which - through incompetence, l...more | D.R. Schkopf |
| 02-9-2008 | Why don't we all buy Polish registered cars (much cheaper than ours but just as good) and drive them over here paying tax to Poland (or whichever country you bout it from so to not pick on Polish people...) and then go for a day trip to France twice a year (so you can re-start the 6 month rule) ...more | wilba |
| 01-9-2008 | Actually I don't think the original poster was really singling out Polish people, it was just used as an example. It may have come across that way in the last paragraph but I don't think that is what was meant. The gripe was about foreigjn registered vehicles, be it owned by British people ...more | Matty |
| 01-9-2008 | The original poster is absolutely right in his observations, but very much in the wrong in singling out Polish people for his criticism.
The Polish are one of the few immigrant groups in UK who work hard and contribute to society, the majority are decent respectable people. Of course there are ex...more | MikeP (aka Stanislaw Brodowski) |
| 01-9-2008 | another thing, where I live in Sheffield there are people (That are English) with tax discs out of date.. does that no count? | Sentill |
| 01-9-2008 | The gripe is just another mindless racist attack! I come to england for work from Poland and all I have met is racism. I will be going back very soon | Sentill |
| 31-8-2008 | The Austrian vignette is for motorways only - it's an alternative to toll booths. You don't need one if you stick to normal roads. | Wienerschnitzel |
