Mercedes-benz CL500 Auto - Using trader plates to steal cars 24 Aug 2024 (Forum)
But if a person who owns a trader plate covers the vehicle and drives off with it, then theirs no way to trace the car using the ANP cameras and other smart cameras on the road, or am I wrong? What can you do in this circumstance? I believe this person will ship it to another country. -

I recently had a major service done on my car, part of the service involved replacing the nearside front suspension ball joint.

Insuring multiple cars on one policy ? 4 Nov 2009 (Forum)
To address this and indeed with a view to saving money, I was wondering if anyone had heard of an insurance policy which would cover both of us for all three cars for all purposes ?
