UK sticker

[GoldenVision]

How necessary is this. We're off to Spain next month and wondering if people actually bother?

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Nope, in the glove box with the angle mortz crap

 

[EuroTrotters]

I usually bother, forgot to put my magnetic one on I swap between cars.

Had 3 lots of police including guardia behind us. Ok so far

 

[Spriddler]

Several threads and dozens (hundreds?) of previous posts on this.
I didn't find it a bother - less than a fiver at Halfords and all of 30 seconds to slap it on.

Fortunately, he/she should be able to find a Halfords sometime during the next month.

I have UK and also GB as Johnny foreigner thinks the UK one is Ukraine.

I put a small one on rear number plate, just in case.

 

[James-Alex]

Why not? I mean it’s the law and Amazon have them for less than fiver. Up to you but it’s not worth the hassle imo

Been going to Europe for summer and winter breaks since 2009 and not used them.

No issues.

For the sake of a few pence, if it were me, I would get one and stick it on. One less thing to get stressed about should you come across the Guardia

 

[Nirvanauk]

Why would you not want to?

Why would you not want to?

Are we not proud to be part of the UK so why not tell people about ourselves? There seems to be a group of people on this motorhome fun forums who prefer to ignore the laws. Just wait for the moans when we have a thread for those who got stopped and fined for either not have a regulation UK sticker. a GB sticker or not one at all! Sympathy, don't be silly!

We got a new number plate with a UK mark for the car ... can't stand stickers and the boot/bonnet of the car is all composite these days so magnetic plates are no use

Maybe......but since we kicked Brussels into touch we have to use them.
Why they can't accept UK is anyone's guess, maybe a petty bit of payback for leaving.

Five quid delivered off ebay for two oval UK and two reg plate stickers, stuck them over the old "GB" stickers. Now legal so no worrying about gendarmes etc if they fancy giving us an on the spot fine.

I bought a UK sticker off eBay which stuck on well enough but the UK slowly disappeared, I think it was printed with a poor quality printer

 

[nicholsong]

I have Polish registration but I would also like to put a GB sticker on the MH

Anyone got an old GB sticker to donate? - I will pay postage

For some reason the Spanish authorities want an oval sticker.

I have UK on the vans plates. On our recent trip a German chap was walking past with his young son spotting different countries, as he passed ours he told his son Britain. In other conversations with “Jonny foreigner” no one mistook me for Ukrainian.

You must have been unlucky, 12 months later, and 40 degrees plus heat at times, and mine look like new.

I keep forgetting to put my magnetic one on when I set off for our next destination.
No hassle in Spain as a result.... yet!

That is the standard one for all countries.

Perhaps the Union Jack is a giveaway. In France this summer, I was asked if I was from Ukraine. Only had the oval but no markings on numberplate.

If we had it in French, it would be Royaume-Uni. I'm not sure I want an RU sticker.

As nicholsong ssaid + there are also specific width & height measurements as per the vienna convention.

 

[Southdowners]

We don’t bother.
