Hi all,
I've been driving the wife's foreign-reg E200K for the past 3 weeks to a new job in Northampton. Unlike the loads of eejits who drive as they please with foreign number plates, I've been trying to drive as if the car is registered here in the UK. No... seriously, I am.
As a matter of fact, we're in the process of registering it here. It just passed it's MOT (with stickers on the headlamps no less), and we're waiting for MB to send the CoC.
In spite of my efforts, I blew through an unfamiliar 30 mph zone at about 34 mph, and I saw the dreaded flash of the camera...
My question is... what happens in this situation? This is our only car (not for long), and it isn't registered yet with the DVLA - but it will be shortly. Both my wife and I have foreign licenses as well.
Does the number get added to some sort of offender's list? Would our chequered past catch up with us when we do attempt to register my wife's car with the DVLA?
