I agree, but would have thought that the scheme may have covered such issues if the DVLA were really concerned.
Quote:"The trial will naturally help to make our roads safer as it should reduce the number of foreign vehicles being driven in the UK without MoTs in an unroadworthy condition."
Of course the glaringly obvious problem with this is that a foreign car is (presumably) registered in the country it came from, and this does not mean that it is automatically linked to a UK address. So how fines are administered is a mystery to me.
The obvious answer is to give the car a notice that it is abandoned if it is not registered beyond the six months, and/or has no MOT. Clamp it, tow it, crush it. But of course, at more cost to the public.
