60,000 Polish plates on Italian roads in insurance dodge

Original: Ir you though Naples was so far away from Gdansk, think again. Estimated 60,000 Polish number plates are now permanently

An estimated 60,000 Polish-registered vehicles are now permanently on Italian roads, according to a widely shared observation, with drivers allegedly using foreign plates to escape Italy's sharply rising car insurance premiums. The practice is described as large-scale regulatory arbitrage between the two EU countries, and it is fueling debate over registration rules and enforcement.

Why now: Rising Italian insurance costs and the scale of foreign-plate evasion have made the issue a hot topic.
