You will be caught.

They will take your car and charge you the VRT and a hefty fine.

Pretty active I'd say. Simply put it's tax evasion if you're living and working here. If you're caught and all is not bone fide it's highly likely that the offender's car will be seized.

Wonderful. Mods advocating tax evasion. I don't know why I bother with you lot. @ OP. Pay your taxes or buy something you can afford to run...like a pair of roller blades. :rolleyes:

He's not a Motors mod though! And besides, mods are just ordinary users outside their own domain.

Thread closed. Infractions given. This one doesn't even need an explanation as to why.
