Came home Saturday via euro tunnel to say shambolic is under statement 12 hr wait to get through border control not UK officers fault it was the shear amount of Young EE lads average 6 to a van not following rules.

thanks yes I was aware as I said there was a thread which I have rather lazily not followed. it was your mention that when checked at the border it included green card and blind spot stickers.

can I ask please, if any indication from the police other than, the compliment that they were required.

I think as the dust after Brexit settles and covid receeds it's going to become clearer what the situation is. At the moment there should be no-one able to say what it's like for leisure travellers.

Well he certainly knew about them and when parked at Le Boulou a German van had them on as well to be honest it's like breathalyser (I know not req)GB badge etc ok until a pedantic official so I opt for Belt &braces suits me

Does blind spot stickers are necessary for PVC as well? I mean standard vans don’t have them, or I’m missing something.

Magnetic stickers are already available to buy, unfortunately they won't work on aluminium or fiberglass.
