I had to fly back to the UK from Malaga a few weeeks ago. Having time to spare I had a look at the cars parked in the departure drop off area. There were 6 with UK plates. 5 had either no tax disc, or one which was out of date and only one was road legal. One of the cars with no tax disc was parked in the disabled area, but it was showing a current "blue" badge.
I thought that the traffico were getting tough with illegal cars?

Only if you believe the forums

Many of those UK cars seem to have been abandoned.

Probably the people that have handed in the keys of their property (someone will tell me you can't do that!), dumped the motor and gone back to UK.

I don´t think anyone gives a toss. Too many Brit cars around.

My friend came to pick me up at Alicante Airport, she was in the drop off zone for less than five minutes just to give me a shout, I had my disabled badge with me ,,, but she still got a fine.. the officer wasn't interested, a proper jobsworth.

I can understand the motivation.
how much is the fine?
Multiply that by say, 10000. How much money is that?
Easy peasy...

No different to the UK. If you stop your car at the side of the road in Glasgow and keep the engine running you can be fined for polluting!
