I'm sure the issue of foreign cars has been a problem for many people. Recently we had a problem in our estate with a group of Polish guys filling up our parking space with old, beaten up Northern reg or foreign reg cars. I presume these guys are illegally trading in these junk heaps. They disappear after a few days of being revved up and tinkered with. I think the main issue is the fact that there is no insurance liability for most of these cars that are on the road today. You can gaurantee that MOTOR INSURERS BUREAU OF IRELAND will not be too forthcoming when you contact them to say you're involved in an accident with an unisured vehicle. Why is it so difficult for the Garda to get the power to impound cars found to have no insurance or is it that they just dont care?
It seems that with the ever increasing carnage on our roads that we really need to pay more attention to issues like this. Someone should make an election issue out of this.
