| this statement is complete nonsense, a mate regularly travels all over germany and east as far as the ukraine using his U numbers. as far as i'm aware italy is the only EU state that doesn't like swiss traders plates.
a few years we were going to fly to liverpool taking the plates with us and borrow a car from a mate of mine, put the swiss plates on it then drive to newcastle, collect an automatic transmission for his camaro , drive back to liverpool and fly home paying a fair price for the gearbox as excess baggage.
his insurance company issued a green card and were fully aware of exactly what we were doing.

Confirmed by a garage owner:
"Trailers using Swiss garage trade plates are not insured in some EU states, and there for illegal" Many years back, isn't under current regs. | |

since trailer regulations vary pretty widely across the entire planet and not just in the EU you may well be correct on that, but i was not talking about trailers and unless i missed something neither was the original poster...........
