That's another 10,000 number plates for LRNUT to make.

Even as a staunch Remainer, I always thought that the EU symbol at the start of the plate was unbelievably tacky, so I’ve never had one. Mind you, I’ve not driven outide the UK since touring Europe with a good friend at the age of 22 in 1986 and combined with all the new rules, bureaucracy and costs that we’re now going to have heaped upon us since The Daily Mail readership took control and steered us off a cliff, I doubt that I ever will again; on this basis, I’ve got nothing new to feel sad about over this

But I may laugh a little if I hear Leavers complain about this, especially if it’s alongsise more complaints about surcharges on foreign holidays since the value of the £ went down the toilet

On a practical note, I think I’d just put the ‘plate through the bandsaw, as all anyone needs is an 11mm gap between the lettering and the end of the plate

One thing’s clear: if you’re travelling in the EU from 29 March 2019, you may need a GB sticker if your car is currently wearing a set of EU number plates.


Clear? At work
At home

& if you go to Europe before the 29th & come back after?

Do you need to change the rego at midnight with the new set?

Maybe you are not allowed back home! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

What a good job I’ve always used illegally spaced show plates without manufacturers names for the last 25 years . I guess I’ll just buy a GB sticker in the shop on the ferry then .  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto .

Im thinking of going to the 'Ring later this year. Does anyone know if my plastic UK (Euro) licence will still be acceptable on its own or would I need something in addition ?l Jules

I wonder what number plates I will have to display on my new Freelander/LR2 after Brexit? How's that?  Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.
2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone)
1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)

I see a market here for appropriate sized stickers at 5p each to go over the EU's prized logo. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

........ and you can buy them over the counter, and be asked "would you like a 10p bag to go with that ?"

.

The plates won't be illegal, they'll just not be valid as a replacement for the white GB sticker. I still have my old magnetic one from x years ago. I suppose I'd better dig it out. Of more concern is that if there is no deal you will need to source a green card from your insurer and an international driving licence (two if you are travelling to Spain Portugal or Eire, although I don't suppose the Irish will care too much). And ultimately (or possibly sooner) you will need to buy a visa as well.

Just been to Canada and bothered to take an international driving license “ not needed in Canada sir we speak English “. Going back tomorrow to replace the labels with multilingual versions. Didn’t think that they were that “fussed “ in Ontario 👹 Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Never been asked for an IDP when hiring a car in Canada or the states.
