Well actually yes.
EU directive 83/182 is specifically concerned with taxes and no other matter. Interestingly on this one you fall into the juridiction trap. Once your six months are up, how do you get taxed, the car is not registered in the new country, it is not its home, it is not always there. Additionally 1983 was a long time ago and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, there are at least a dozen directives on the subject.
Please provide evidence of Brits in Spain and Poles being the worst offenders and details of any convictions please.
Yet again, insurance. If your insurer writes you a policy then they are bound by the terms, its that simple. I am in the business of Expat insurance and I would crazy to sell duff policies plus contravening my regulation status. You breaking the law or not is another matter. I am also not sure why you would describe 'foreign' policies as being more expensive, sometimes they are and sometimes not. Whereas your suggestion that it would save you money to your insurance company is nuts, that does invalidate a policy.
I never know why this area of debate on rather a dry subject causes such feelings. If you are not happy with doing something in a particular way, dont do it, no one wants to convince you.
