[Dungo]

We've been settled in spain for 24 hours and been asked by the third person are we from the Ukraine..we did the right thing and placed uk number plate stickers over our gb ones and it's confusing alot of our European friends,when we explain it's boris's new law all is forgiven and the usual friendliness resumes,we have found north east spain very busy quite a few retired German and Dutch making up for lost time with spain being on the red list all last year for them.

Interesting there really was no need to change from GB to UK but equally intriguing is the Ukraine Country sticker

UK is the correct desigination, officially we are The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. GB excludes Northern Ireland so is incorrect.

Sadly no. In Spain you have to remove the GB variants. You can’t have both.

And you forgot your Angle Morts stickers…

Not yet it isn’t. It is not official until 28th September. We only recently applied to change from GB to UK.

Displaying number plates

How to display number or licence plates, get plates made up, replace lost, damaged or stolen plates, and the national letters, flags and symbols you can display.

Sadly no. In Spain you have to remove the GB variants. You can’t have both and in most of Europe you can’t use the European stars!

And you forgot your Angle Morts stickers…

Think angle morts is 3.5 ton and over I've got them in glovebox but not put them on been keeping an eye on the amount of motorhomes with them on and would say around 10% have complied

I know I was jesting. We’re just back France and we didn’t see a single large French MoHo with the stickers. The only ones we saw were in larger Dutch Belgian and German vans.

Cryptic clue re angles covered and overkill, 'cos the missing sticker seems to be the Angles Mort ...

Shame NI have decided to stick with GB though, so totally pointless.

Rubbish. UK Government made the change, nothing to do with EU. UK no longer EU member, so how could it impose the change? We have taken back control, remember?

You can have those but you still need the UK plate in Europe

Exactly our experience when we drove though France a couple of weeks ago.

Actually the governments website does not state you need a UK plate: this what it says:

On or after 28 September 2021​

You will need to display a UK sticker clearly on the rear of your vehicle if your number plate has any of the following:

• a GB identifier with the Union flag (also known as the Union Jack)
• a Euro symbol
• a national flag of England, Scotland or Wales
• numbers and letters only - no flag or identifier

If your number plate includes the UK identifier with the Union flag (also known as the Union Jack), you do not need a UK sticker.

If you’re in Spain, Cyprus or Malta, you must display a UK sticker no matter what is on your number plate.

If you have a GB sticker, cover or remove it.

 

[OldCodger]

As I read that the only way you don’t need a UK Sticker is if you have a compliant UK number plate.

In Spain you do need one (and in Malta and Cyprus)

yes but when GB change to UK so as to incorporate Northern Ireland it is ludicrous that Northen Ireland are retaing GB?

No it isn't nothing to do with the EU . GB trying to sweet talk NI .pity they are staying with GB.

Reading that means everyting is disallowed as UK on the plate isn't sufficient for a 3rd country ,need the oval sticker anywhere.

Agreed but it also means you don't have to change the plates and why would I want to spend money on doing so when a simple sticker will suffice

GB was sufficient pre EU and during our membership so slightly curious as to why the politicians would want to spend time and money changing from GB to UK but I guess this is not the forum to put thoughts out there.

 

[Northernraider]

I got some very confused greeks and other nationalities last winter with my sco plates ....ill probably get more on my next trip because like the GB sticker i won't be displaying a uk one.

I might leave one on the glovebox for the very slim chance that anyone will ask about it but I won't be putting one on any van unless forced. 7 countries last year without a GB one and no one of any importance batted an eye so i doubt they will change over a uk one either. ...besides it will change again in 2023 so why waste money

Should it happen that the northern part of Great Britain is no longer part of the United Kingdom, the UK plate will still be fine. It's not often this government can be congratulated for some forward planning.

About the same amount of french MH's that have Crit D'air stickers then.

I've previously encountered foreign officials that think UK is Ukraine. We seem to have a lot of pointless and poorly thought through legislation this year. We'll soon be catching the French up

btw, I won't be changing stickers anytime soon.
