Posted on 27/06/2022 12:18 by moorlander999are we still laying on our backs getting our belly ticked by the European Govts ?
The UK seem very lax at enforcements on foreign vehicles yet the Europeans are all over our vehicles like a rash !
I have a CRIT for my motorcycle - a complete farce obtaining it - the French Govt put the wrong reg number on the disc...despite me sending a copy of the log book ..then refused to supply another with the correct reg number...so I paid out for another . I toured France and was stopped several times for ''safety checks'' by the gendarmes on nice sunny days ( never when it was raining ) and noticed that it was only foreign bikes and only once was asked where my CRIT sticker was (I think it was in Lyon ) I showed the cop my sticker ) in my jacket pocket ) and he didn't even check it - just waived me through.
Is the system for foreign vehicles requiring a CRIT just a Money making exercise ?

I can't understand the anti-EU comments - the critair sticker is a requirement for all vehicles whether UK or EU that want to enter a controlled zone. Some people still haven't grasped that by leaving the EU we no longer enjoy the privileges as well as the duties that went with membership.
It's perfectly easy to get the sticker (from the official site of course, not one of the rip-off ones).
