Foreign trucks finally going to have to pay to drive on UK roads.

I really can't understand why its taken so long for them to consider this, especially
since we have to pay to drive in other European countries.

I think we need to go one further and combat the amount of European cars that are over here as well, Many of them are here full time and work here but drive LHD motors on Euro plates to avoid tax and get the benefit of cheaper insurance back home

 

No insurance back home is more like it!

 

Bloke at work used to do this

It cost him £8 a year to insure his Toyota igo fully comp for a year in some eastern European country

If I could do that and get away with it I would, and I'm not sure why more people don't

 

one of our cleaners at work drives to poland to get his car mot and tax. must cost him a fortune in fuel. other times he goes back he flies so this must be cheaper.

 

2 guys at mine do a similar thing, Every 6 mths they have the cars sent home on a trailer and sent back to the uk just to show the car has been out the country.
It must still work out cheaper than having a UK car or they wouldn't do it.

 

poles aint daft they know all the tricks for earning and not spending !!

 

It took so long,as when the sceme fist came in to place in other eu countries for foriegn vehicles to pay,britain was asked if it wanted in,but decided to opt out wtf,have a few forign fuks work with me whos cars havnt been out of uk in 3 yrs still on forign plates ,fucks me right off,and they laff about it
