hi. In the Mora area, the police are now taking photos of any English reg car on the road. They then checking by internet  with the DVLA to see if it is taxes. If it is not, they are stopping the car at the roadside, or entering fincas to check on cars, and the owner is then given 6 days to get it on to Spanish plates.. Otherwise, the car must not be moved, unless on a low loader.. They really do mean business, and i know a few people that this has happened to.

I wonder why it has taken so long for the rozzers to clamp down on these unlicensed, uninsured vehicles that seem to be in daily use.  I can't believe they didn't sort it out when they had the police station behind 'Simply' supermarket.  One quick trip to the nearby supermarket car park and... Kerching!!!  Maybe they've caught all the robbers and I will be getting my TV and computer back soon.   

What you mean like those Ex-pats who drive home from the bar on a Friday night and a Sunday afternoon!!

I seem to recall some dutch couple in Gandesa getting clamped but it may be that the Germans and the French  are more likely to have holiday homes here and not permanent residents and only visit for Jollies then drive back home!!

There are also plenty of us who have homes in both UK and Spain. When I come over for a few months I cash in my UK tax and SORN the car. This is perfectly legal as UK road tax only applies for driving in the UK. You need to check with your insurance company and of course you need to be MOT'd for the insurance to be valid.
The EU law on this is totally bonkers. I had great discussions with Lord Adonis during the last government. "You can use a car in another EU country for up to 6 months in any 12 month period before it must be re-registered." No-one could tell me if this meant a calendar year, a rolling 12 month period or how multiple trips abroad were allowed for. I even asked if MEPs drove back and forth to Brussels and was told that many do.
Always keep a valid insurance certificate and proof of a ferry crossing within the last 6 months in the car.
I would absolutely not condone colour copying your tax disk before cashing it in nor editing and reprinting the emailed ferry crossing every month or so. That would be very naughty. 

When you sorn a vehicle you are signing/agreeing that you are not using or keeping the vehicle on any public road, anywhere.
It must be kept in a garage or off road??

Can anyone confirm that that the annual Rates bill for a Finca includes an amount for agricultural vehicles ?
As my neighbour has been told by the Adjuntament that he neads to inform them of his tractors details and pay extra for it on the rates bill.
