Interesting to see the Nurburgring checking UK regs on ANPR and the police in the car park in undercover cars dealing with untaxed uk cars,,,, interesting change & a good one IMO
Genuine question but why would German police be bothered about a UK car being untaxed? And I thought post brexit that EU police no longer could access DVLA systems? fridaypassion said:
Were they actually checking tax? Makes no sense that they would be interested in the UK excise system. Insurance sure I know people that drive track cars on the road out there just because they still have plates...
I got done there for no tax back in the days of the tax disc. Gave me an on the spot fine and told me to trailer the car home. I promptly went and hired a - new then - Megane r26r from RSR for the day, which was undoubtedly better than the car I turned up in.
There may be no access for German plod into the DVLA system, but all they have to do is look online at the MOT/tax checker website.
Weird. I guess the German police will quite rightly be in the mood to disrupt brits as much as possible due to the bone headed behaviour of the minority. I see from one of the FB groups that a BMW was dicking about and then got away from a police chase! How do these people even afford the fuel and Ferry crossings?!

How are the UK border controls not checking for untaxed and uninsured vehicles?!?Cheburator mk2 said:

Please don't give them ideas. Leaving and coming back into the country is a bigger palaver since Brexit, the last thing we need now is yet another batch of time consuming checks on top... Might save the odd pinched car being exported too.

Crashing all the time and being a general danger.
Yes he has posted a WhatsApp no doubt from a mate but what a coincidence it has to be him driving!
I don't believe he does 'crash all the time', he was just leading his class in n24 and overtook 1st himself. Given the number of laps he does, the crash rate an incident rate is pretty low.Yes he has posted a WhatsApp no doubt from a mate but what a coincidence it has to be him driving!
No doubt he is a very capable driver, but he does seem to push very hard on public track days, and usually the closing speeds are scary to watch!
Inevitably he is either going to bin it, hit someone else, someone hit him or have a car failure.
I hope he and the passenger are okay, but perhaps a reminder of the dangers of the ring.
