Strangest and most distant license plates you've seen in your area

[PLH]

Yes, you can't.

[Kosovar]

its allowed????

[PLH]

No, it's not.

[Kosovar]

ok thanks for information but if one polish guy like to by car in england then what can he do with that car in poland

[PLH]

He should pay for changing the steering wheel from the right to the left (probably it's ca 500 - 1000 Euro, maybe less than that)

[ChrisZwolle]

Is this serious? You can't register a right hand drive car in Poland? How about those Nissan skylines, they only come at RHD...

[PLH]

I must check that - I indeed saw a Skyline no longer than a week ago

it's not that old, minica was introduced some 10 years ago.

Well, I wouldn't bother shipping my "no-more-than-2000-euros-worth-car" all the way from Japan to Europe. It would be different if it was a Bentley Continental or an expensive BMW 7-serie.

It makes sense to me. It doesn't forbid you to drive in Poland with foreign plates (a Brit won't change his wheel for a few days of driving in Poland), but driving like that all the time can be quite dangerous in long term.

[dubart]

I agree. But it's still allowed here.

The newest GTRs have LHD. Even if they didn't, you need a special permission from Ministry of Transport, which is hard to get.

Not being allowed to register RHD cars in Poland sounds a bit naughty to me. It basically ignores the EU and it's free-trade law as it means essentially you can't buy a car in the UK, Ireland, Cyrpus, Malta and take it home a register it. You can't keep a car on another county's number plates forever.

[PLH]

On the motorway it is less problematic, but imagine lurking from behind a truck on a normal road

I saw today: Budapest, Porsche Cayenne, steering wheel on the right side, Liechtenstein (FL) plates

[PLH]

Here many SUVs are imported from USA and they all have these misleading red turn signals and yellow position lights(who approved that)

[Verso]

Those red turn signals annoy me too (not that I see them more than once a year).

I guess you may import them, but not register until you move steering wheel.

Why on the right side?

Did you follow the link and read the page?

The way I understand it, if a Japanese decides to drive his car outside of Japan he has to get such a license plate with latin characters. It's not just for exporting vehicles.

OK, but what is the point of bringing such a fairy cheap car from Japan anyway, when in Poland you can drive on foreign plates only for several months?
