It's bonkers how many laws there are against perfectly ordinary and normal things like importing cars in the Land of the "Free".
In the UK you basically just need it to have some form of braking system and nothing likely to slice open or skewer pedestrians as you drive past, and be able to insure it.
- jacquesm 3y agoThat's one reason why the UK is considered DIY vehicle heaven. And also why it is very much a pity that it dropped out of the EU because that gave a neat little loophole for a while.
- Gordonjcp 3y agoThere's a lot of reasons it's a pity it dropped out of the EU, but one upside is that it gives us room to rejoin as a proper member, using the Euro, in Schengen, etc. Or, maybe just Scotland and NI, and Wales and England can become independent.
- jacquesm 3y ago> There's a lot of reasons it's a pity it dropped out of the EU Yes, sorry I did not mean to give the impression that that was a major thing, just one more item that I've seen people use in creative ways. But obviously it's just a tiny footnote in a much, much larger tragedy. > but one upside is that it gives us room to rejoin as a proper member, using the Euro, in Schengen, etc. Can't wait. > Or, maybe just Scotland and NI, and Wales and England can become independent. England will put up a ton of resistance before allowing that to happen.
