New rules coming into play for UK drivers wishing to visit Europe later this year. Post is on Practical Caravan website.
Being a newbie I still have to wait before posting links.

But the text is as follows :-

In something of a turnaround, the government has decided that from 28 September motorists who wish to take their cars abroad will be required to display a ‘UK’ sticker.

The change in rules comes only months after ministers had replaced the old Euro plate with a new ‘GB’ number plate, complete with Union flag. From September, motorists who have bought the new GB number plate and wish to drive their vehicles abroad will have to upgrade to the new UK number plate.

It has been noted by several news services that the change was not formally announced by the government, in contrast to the much publicised launch of the GB number plate in January by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.

Instead, the government has written to the United Nations declaring that: “The United Kingdom is changing the distinguishing sign that it had previously selected for display in international traffic on vehicles registered in the United Kingdom, from “GB” to “UK”.”

I'm not a happy bunny as I'd already ordered and applied my new stickers a few months ago.

When Scotland get independence there will be no UK either. If that should happen will there still be a GB?

Could be a NSGB, Not So Great Britain. But would they be able to fit the extra letters in?
