Import/Expat
Regarding the matter of a UK resident driving a foreign registered car, previously deemed illegal by the DVLA, I received last week a letter from DVLA. Amongst other comments the letter states that 'In the circumstances where a UK resident is using an EU registered vehicle in the UK on a temporary basis, on a visit from their holiday home, for example, they are entitled to use the vehicle when visiting the UK. We will be looking to amend the wording on the website to ensure this information is correctly reflected.' Who said our civil servants were rubbish?

A result. But why the misinformation and confusion in the first place?
