It will be interesting to see how it all pans out. I fear that their get out out will be based around the legislation that lies behind this phrase on the DVLA / OpenGov website.
Concerning the temporary import of EU vehicles
It is the responsibility for the driver to prove how long the vehicle has been in the country.

Erns, I am in total agreement with you on this one. Sometimes the hassle could be more energy-draining than the original incident.

Sometimes you really have to take a stand, and, as long as it doesn't cost more than any other hobby, it can be quite fun and entertaining.

I agree with both Ernie and Steve, oh dear I sound like a liberal!
It all depends on your character and how you will deal with an unsuccessful outcome.
I have taken both paths in the past, in fact it was letting something go that would have grown into an internal cancer for me had I pursued it (being taken for a huge some of money by a long term friend and customer) that was ultimately responsible for me ceasing my business and retiring to France.
I am so happy with my new life now that if I met him again I would probably thank him rather than try to kill him.

Go for the bast ards. They need to be reminded of their place. And never let go. Use your teeth on their privates.
Do not try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Only if you're sure they've washed their privates and only if you still have all your own teeth!

I keep saying I am not going to add anymore but here goes.
there is one simple issue here, the fact that the Traffic cops could have used the 24 hour Insurance no on the back of the green card and refused. My husband was then arrested by 2 police who thought he was being smart because he wouldn`t give them a UK address. Once arrested he could not be released untill he went through the courts. There is information to suggest that these 2 did not do their job properly which resulted in 3 days loss of liberty for Mr O , a day of me wondering why the hell he was not answering his phone and another 2 of a nightmare situation. A huge bill for enforced parking, which was made longer than necessary as thee is an appointment system to release the vehicle.
All those who feel that we are silly to persue this are free to do so, but can i reiterate that IF this had gone the way the cops wanted it to , my husband would have ended up with 6 points on his license , a crushed car and in the end no job.

You stick with it Opas as you clearly have it in you to take this forward.
It was your husband this time, who will it be next time.
The courts rule that there is no case to answer, i.e. innocent and you husband has lost three days of his liberty, a large bill to get his car back and a lot of anxiety. This is made especially worse whereby the police did not make any enquiries, which they could, as to whether the car was insured and they would also have discovered your husbands address - in France.
