You can't just blame the 'foreigners within the EU', because a car

sure a lot of foreign cars over here are owned by people using them to
avoid detection. In fact, in many ways I can see why I might want to do
it myself until honesty kicks in.


There used to be (though less now) a lot of german and netherlands
registered cars in london with very un-german looking drivers. Now as
you mentioned theres a lot of polish plates and also lithuanian and
latvian.
How long before they all get sold on to Brits with foreign plates
included
is anyones guess. The government have really made a rod for their own
backs with all the road and speed cameras but they're too dumb to see
it.
