Driving Regulations – New UK Sticker Rules For Driving In Europe
As of September 28th 2021, British motorists driving their home registered Figaro in Europe must use the new ‘UK’ sticker on the rear of the car. In the past, you would attach a GB sticker but the term ‘Great Britain’ refers to England, Scotland and Wales. While the term ‘United Kingdom’, in fact, refers to each of these areas plus Northern Ireland. By making the rule that you must display a ‘UK’ sticker, the plan is to ensure that motorists on the continent (and in the Republic of Ireland) are actually highlighting that Northern Ireland is still part of our nation.
You also need to remember that number plates featuring the ‘blue band’ and letters ‘GB’ next to the ‘European’ golden stars are also no longer valid. You have been warned!
