Over the last few months I've noticed a number of cars here with foreign plates. Nothing strange about that you might think but...although these cars have foreign plates (couple polish and now an english one which hasn't moved for the last few months) they also have a local residents parking permit displayed.
Now everything I've read/been told so far, says that if you move to another country and become a resident there, then you have to re-register your car in that country. In fact I thought it was illegal (says so on the EU website), i.e. no driving round avoiding speeding tickets for the next X years because you've still got foreign plates.
So how can they get the resident parking permit when they've still got UK plates on the car?
