If he arrived here 9 months ago surely he (being a right wing pher here) would have been an illegal immigrant???? I'm sure Bulgaria joined the eu on the 1 January???? Anyway???? What would happen if he was outside the Eu would probably be preferable???
They have been free to travel/live here for many years now as a member of the EU, their working rights came in January 2014.

Where should we send all the British people that have no regard for our laws?
Buy an island and send them where they can all break the law together.All law abiding citizens pay for people that break the law.
At least 8 points for the 2 offences and a hefty fine hopefully.
Based in London I'm tired of seeing foreign cars & drivers ignoring the laws because they can't be bothered and seem to think that they don't apply to them.
Obviously it is only a minority but a large number use bus lanes and ignore other signs, drive without insurance or even a licence knowing that the resources are not in place to enforce any meaningful penalty.
I'd happily bet that the chap the OP is writing about knew full well we was driving uninsured but simply didn't care. The car should have been impounded at least.

From the gov web site:
Penalties for uninsured drivers:
The police could give you a fixed penalty of £300 and 6 penalty points if you’re caught driving a vehicle you’re not insured to drive.
If the case goes to court you could get:
an unlimited fine
disqualified from driving
The police also have the power to seize, and in some cases, destroy the vehicle that’s being driven uninsured.
No idea how it applies to Non EU licence holders, but I thought they had to transfer their licence to the UK or take the test?
