hi mate different system here i can come to the uk and i'm legal that goes for europe etc we can still be pulled by the police and the vehicel checked for road worthyness just as in the uk but in a way i miss the mot cos it was a good indicator of what may need doing !! as for the road tax i pay my anual insurance which includes the "road tax" but my insurance for the year is £230 fully comp

but as i say cos the car is registered in jersey and has "J" plates i can go anywhere and i'm legal just as you can go abroard and do the same !another example of rip off britain but you have to remember the island is only 9 miles by 5 miles and has a blanket speed limit of 40 mph but then you get the mega rich that live here and when you pull up at the lights and there's a brand new aston martin or similar next to you i do laugh cos the roads here are narrow and the road surface aint great so why have a £200,000 sports car i'm more than happy with my fronty . and we pay more in duty on our petrol here to but i still only paid £1.19 a liter yesterday so you work that out .
