Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,

I wonder if you are able to help me. I am an expat living overseas with a UK vehicle. I have lived overseas for several years. My vehicle is taxed and tested in the UK. Earlier this year I cancelled my UK insurance as the car was taken off the road while I converted it to French plates.

A fine was sent to the UK address that I use, however was not given to me. Since that time I have received notice from the magistrates court with documentation to sign.

Does the UK law apply if the vehicle is overseas? Is there anything I can do about this? I have since got european insurance and now drive the vehicle in Europe.

Thanks for your help!

Yours faithfully,

Harriet Golding
