Brexit driving

[vandriver]

I was told years ago that the charging of VRT on imported cars is completely illegal. But because they are making so much money from it, they just ignore the EU directive and pay the annual fine. I don't know if that's true or not

It's an urban myth.

True John....but not playing the game as the EU intended...the only thing that seems to move freely through borders are people....which the UK citizens voted to stop!!

Just wondering if Brexit happens then new cars imported into GB will have to pay WTO taxes that will make Right Hand Drive cars more expensive so they will sell less .If the car makers are selling less Right Hand Drive cars will they increase the price of them to justify the trouble of making them or will one of the side effects of less cars being sold in the UK mean there will be plenty of special offers next year to get rid of the cars that wont be bought in Britain .

 If there was ever a United Ireland might we then decide to drive on the Left as left hand drive cars are more popular so should be cheaper .

United Ireland or not, when Brexit happens, within 5 years we will be driving on the right hand side of the road.
It’ll make us more European

When brexit happens it could be the beginning of the end for the EU and the status quo will be maintained. Hopefully anyway
