of these cars can just happily ignore speed cameras, the congestion

cameras by
the bean counters.

Auto Express revealed a year or two ago about buying a car (this time
from France) and getting out of paying fines or the congestion charge.
In fact, they didn't even GET a ticket because no council would issue
a ticket on a foreign car. [Likewise, many foreign countries won't
ticket you either - but of course, they might still tow you or clamp
you].

I thought that there were reciprocal arrangements in place to enable any EU
country to pursue fines and charges incurred by a vehicle registered in
another EU country. Possibly it's not yet in place for newer members like
Poland, but I'm sure it will happen. Certainly the French have no
hesitation in ticketing me in Paris! :-(
