"physician heal thyself"
If I thought for about 5 minutes I reckon I could locate 20 odd uk registered cars within a fairly short distance of where I'm sitting, which have all been resident in france for over 5 years, have never been "control techniqued" (mot'd) here, or registered here, or insured here (or anywhere for that matter) & are free to use the entire french road network for free apart from the Autoroutes which they have to pay for like everybody else (the pay autoroutes in france amount to a paltry 8474 linier kilometres)
from what I read the suggestion is that it's brits, registering cars abroard specifically in order to not pay road tax etc. which is funny cos it's brits here purposefully not re registering their vehicles, to avoid paying for mot's etc & in the hope of avoiding speeding fines...
now you've got me started...!
