My car has kmh and apparently as I checked before coming over the lights adjust to the location, so I don’t need to put those light stickers on it. I’m most sure about the parking light. thanks for letting me know. This is quite a new law they have introduced! if you are caught, can you agree just to take the car out of Italy?
I have been told today that if you do have a right hand drive vehicle, even if you change plates, get a residency and insure yourself in Italy, you also have to convert your car from righthand drive to left hand drive. That can’t be true surely?
I noted in one of the articles above, that you maybe asked to return your vehicle to the UK if not registered in Italy, if you are deemed resident. Does this mean you can just drive the vehicle out and that’s it? Maybe with a fine otherwise the issues you would have is setting up a residency, insurance (only 3p and really expensive), translation of all docs, plates, taxation (I understand expensive) and lessons and a test if a hard brexit (in Italian). So if you don’t speak Italian,this could become a big problem. All this is very expensive and for non speakers very difficult to implement.
Hello, did you get any further with this? i’ve been informed that the police are not targeting U.K.dual residents, although this is of limited comfort. However, the cost of compliance and the practicalities almost defeats the objective of doing it.it seems the requirement comes down to residency, but i’m not clear what the definition is. I don’t work in Italy, my main home is the UK and I am a UK resident under uk rules. So what makes you a resident in the Italy? Do you have to be in the country for more than 90 days in a row? Is it a set amount of days a Year? Or is it something else altogether? Very confused...
