Driving car abroad

Darkest Horse · 2014-11-04 16:15:25

Hi all. I am studying in the UK and have my car here with me. The EU dictates that students do not have to change their reg plates to local plates but this causes an issue in that I haven't yet found an insurer who will cover me under such circumstances. Has anyone had a similar experience or found a way around this…
