View from the UK Parliament
As the profile of the issues surrounding foreign registered vehicles rises, politicians across the spectrum are beginning to recognise the economic and societal consequences arising from growing numbers of foreign vehicle owners ignoring UK driving and parking rules.
Questions have been tabled by politicians across the political spectrum. They reflect concerns that the Government is not yet working proactively to resolve the data sharing and legal issues between the UK and other EU member states that prevent enforcement of penalty notices against foreign registered vehicles.
