Is it still necessary to show GB plates on a car registered in the UK when travelling in other EU countries?
Answers:
if the car is registered in UK - yeah it is obligatory. But for more information visit the Driving Vehicle License Association at www.dvla.gov.uk you can go to FAQ in there and there is an answer to most of the questions you want to ask
yes
It it hasn't got the new number plates with the "GB" on the left, yes.
(MInd you, even if you've got the new number plates and no separate GB plate, good luck explaining it to an armed French traffic cop!)
Yes but if you want to re register your car in another
country you can do so then your plates will be changed to
the host country.
Yes.
Foreign registered cars are also obliged to show a nationality plate when travelling out of their country.
A number of European countries now have number plates with the nationality plate and a flag embedded on the left hand side.
yes unfortunately! went 2 france in sept 06 via norfolk line and we had to have them plus some headlight dimmer things as your insurance can be affected
GB sticker
Compulsory, and failure to comply could result in an on-the-spot fine.
Euro-plates - number plates that include the GB euro-symbol - have been legal since March 2001 and make display of a conventional sticker unnecessary within the EU.
In some countries outside the EU a conventional sticker is required even if you have euro-plates, so it is always safer to display one.
You are supposed to, but if you are just going to France for the week end it is not a panic situation, you are supposed to put stickers on your head lamps as well to not dazzle the others on the other side of the road, but not every one does and I have never heard of any one being stopped for it, if you really want a GB sticker, ask at the AA or RAC desk when you get to the port
Yes it is, or you can get a GB sticker if your car doesn't have the UK symbol for travelling on European roads, that way peopel don't confuse you with one of their own! (and its against the law if you don't have one of the two on the car in Europe
yes is sure is
yes
other cars from other countries have to do so here
it's international law
