However - a full GB licence, female driver, and the fact that UK & IRE have horrific insurance rates. it wont matter as its much cheaper over there in comparasion.

Poland.

Yes the obvious gap is the cost of living one

BUT if you look at it on a comparasion, the continent in general pay cheaper car insurance than GB & IE

No luck myself, but if you find one please let me know (I have 60%)!

It is quite cheap though.

I moved to Poland last year and am insured with a Polish Company called PZU. They honoured my non-claims discount from Britain. I don't feel the cost is cheap when compared to Britain, very much the same really, although relatively a lot more expensive bearing in mind Polish salaries etc.

I have to agree with polskijack, I am insured with Warta (PZU were more expensive) and they honoured my full no-claims from the UK. The cost is about the same as the UK which supprised me because of the wage differential. I think I can understand this for two reasons, the first being the amount of accidents that I see on Polish roads and the second being the lack of insurance companies to force some competition into this market.

I insured my car with Allianz and they honoured my no-claims bonus with Direct Line.

Insurance in the UK is far cheaper and far more comprehensive, If your car is UK registered try stuart collins or if you are over 50 saga do 12 months euro cover.

bajen:

Yes that is right. If you buy a RHD car in Poland, or import one, you cannot register it until it has been converted - they will not register RHD cars. After conversion (which is an extremely cfomplex and expensive business) it has to pass a test by the equivalent of an MOT testing station and the advice I was given is that they are very reluctant to pass it because if you later had an accident and it proved to be the fault of the conversion, the MOT tester would get the blame for signing the car off.
Best look for a LHD car.

Or drive a British car which is roadlegal by UK standards, Its much cheaper and people let you out of side turnings.

For the price of a fairly average seicento on poland you can get a much better car in the UK
