    I know some Insurance Companies already won't insure you unless your car is on Irish plates but maybe all insurance companies should be made do this?

    A couple of flaws in this would be that if you buy a car in the UK you have to drive it back and should be given a grace period of a week to change over the plates...another would be that a lot of people live in the north and have to work in the south.

    While a lot of people would take the risk of driving around on uk plates; not so many would drive around with no insurance.

    Thats not a flaw. If your just working here your not resident so dont have to reregister your car.

    If you can find the day to fly to the UK, pay for your car, drive to Holyhead, spend two hours on the ferry, and drive home to whereever you have to go,then you can find the two hours or less it should take to go to your local VRO and pay your VRT.

    You don't need a week.

    I agree..was just trying to cover my point from scrunity.



    I'm saying it would be a flaw in that if a Garda saw a yellow reg and presumed the driver had no insurnace that it could turn out that the driver is a N.Ire resident.

    If they are they'll be able to prove it.

    Its very easy to prove if your legal. Its also very easy for the Gardai to prove that your not legal (if of course your not).

    I know - that's what I'm saying...

    I'm saying it could get to a point where there's no yellow regs' on the roads and when the gardai spot one...there's a good chance that the person is un-insured
