Sorry to appear thick but can you confirm that what I need is 3 stickers 80,100,110. can they just be stuck in a row or is there some special way of displaying them.

Hi I don't know for sure the correct way to display the stickers, but from what I saw on the trucks in France and what I have done is put them in a pile on the LEFT REAR of my van in order of number IE 110 at the top then 100 then 80 [ Descending order.] and my GB sticker is below this.

the stickers are to allow the authorities to identify vehicles with lower speed limits
it is not easy to identify a vehicle which weighs , say, 3850 and not 3500 ; for this reason it is a serious offence NOT to display the requisite stickers

~I am sure none of us would like to be continuously stopped to check the weight of our motorhomes!
