Many Africans don't seem to want to pay tax, insurance or bother with driving licences.

a friend of mine called gert (nice south african fellow) said to me that in south africa, car insurance isnt even required. if you crash, you pay, you dont pay you go to jail. pretty simple and i believe every word of it lol.

Insurance companies from countries inside the EU have to provide the minimum insurance cover required in all other EU countries if you take the car there. I was in france for a few months this winter rang up the insurance company and they said as I only wanted third party cover (cheap as chips rover) I didn't have to inform them or get a green card.
A lot of people in France had brit registered cars on French insurance (insured off the V.I.N. number i think?) and just brought them back to the UK for MOT etc.
So as most of the the Polish and Latvian cars have only been here for less than a year I presume they are trying their luck under this rule.

It's about time the powers were given to police to keep uninsured people off the roads, regrdless of where they are from.
Our cars are now fitted with computers that say what insurance cars have, who with, whose allowed to drive it, what level of cover the car has, what sort of licence the driver has, what points he/she has. why they have points - just about eveything along with their criminal record and where they live.

so would any of this data influence the outcome of a stop??
we should adopt the german system, whereby the car is insured not the driver, that way there is no issue if he/she has insurance

There is a flaw here, if a car is here and its local (non uk ins runs out) then they should re ins.. it via there local (non UK) insurance co, bet they queue up to do that 
and they cant ins it here as its not got uk plates......
i thought they were all legally obliged to get the plates changed after a certain period of time, or are they exploiting the (visitor) loophole?

They obviously have zero respect for us or our laws.
Time we kicked the whole fekkin lot back where they came from and shut our borders to any more:Mad:
