    Does that not just apply to the owner, rather than the user?
    Applies to the vehicle, 6 months max in any 12 month period, otherwise it's regarded as an import.

    They added "in any 12 month period" to stop people simply removing the vehicle from the country for a day and returning to start another 6 months regulation free period.
  • The user of the vehicle is perfectly entitled to claim for hire charges if they have been deprived of the use of the damaged car due to the actions of the negligent party.

    If that person's a named driver, then it depends on the insurer's Ts & Cs - especially if the negligent party can't be traced, so the claim is coming off that policy.
