On another group, someone was asking about these sites.

Am I right to be alarmed?

Drive down the M40 mate and wonder how many of the foreign registered trucks
are driven by the unqualified. Come to that how many BMW's?

If it becomes well-known, you can bet the loophole will be plugged.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there is a loophole though.

Looking at the countries they claim to operate the scheme through,
they're mostly the newcomers who've not fully integrated yet, but whose
licences have to be recognised by other EU members.

The website does say something to the effect of do it now, while you
still can.

Hopefully it'll soon be blocked.

It doesnt surprise me that this kind of thing works. driving licenses
have always been transferable between some countries.

I had a mate at uni who was from hong kong and had lost his license (for
some very excessive speeding i think!). He got a UK one and could use
that to be given one back again at home with no hassle.

Though he had to do the uk test first, i assume this thing works on the
same kind of principle, using license application in EU countries where
it is less hassle and then getting a uk one.
