Hope his golf clubs were in the boot with the form he's in.
No not anymore you have to have a full licence, be the registered keeper, and have insurance, if your not the registerd keeper then someone elses insurance is invalid, and carlos himself wont be able to as his insurance will now be void as he doesnt have a proper licence.Blue Mist said:Can he get it back ? Presumably anyone with insurance a driving licence and a letter of authority can just turn up at the pound, pay the fee and drive away in it.

We certainly had a players liaison guy who did all this kind of stuff for the players until he ran foul of that utter c*nt currently polluting the managers office at QPR and was sacked, he was on 24 hour call out and sorted out everything from schools for the kids to having the right kind of breakfast cereal available.
Franny Lee's Barrel Chest said:It's a complex issue and I know that in relation to cars, the time spent in the country is crucial. for example, if a player had a German registered car and moved over here and the car was based here permanently, then the car would have to be registered, taxed and insured over here. If, however, the vehicle goes back to Germany within a certain time, then it doesn't.
I'm not sure if the driving licence scenario is similar or not. Tevez could reasonably say that he spends a lot of time out of the country (think close season, internationals, European games etc) and it could well be that he still qualifies as a foreign national and so can drive on that licence.
It is very complex though. On the face of it you could see why a cop might book him and seize the car, because he has the power in those circumstances, but once Nick Freeman gets hold of it, I'm sure it will be a different matter!
