Hi all,

some of the info was useful, some other comments were extremely vague and not cool (Forum Rules anyone?). Of course I have no intention of ending up in jail nor do I know who Tomy down the pub is.

Thank you Roberto for your exhaustive reply.

Thanks, this is all very valuable advice. I still assume that if I move to Spain, get my residence in October, I can still drive a Slovak-registered car there until Christmas. Or would it be more kosher to have it registered in my name? It does not cost more than 40 euros. Can you easily get pulled over by police there?

You can drive any EU-registered vehicle as long as you are authorized to use it until you have been a registered resident for 6 months. You must register it after those 6 months, at least that is what the law says (my interpretation). My question is whether you can use it for longer than 6 months you are not the owner.

Hi all, I would like to move to Spain next year and want to use a car registered in Slovakia in my brother's name. Do I still have to register it in Spain after 6 months even if I have his authorization to drive it and the car has valid papers and plates from Slovakia? What is the control mechanism Spanish police use - is it cameras or random checks? Would I be fined if I didn't comply?  Thanks
