Gb Badge In Europe

[james250]

My number plate has the GB icon with the euro circle thing, do i still need one of those white GB stickers on the back? I'm planning to drive to switzerland

No, what you have is OK

You can use England flag with euro flag I think as when I bought mine they said they were euro legal I stand corrected if wrong

I wonder where the line is drawn. What about a Cornish flag, or Sealand? Given the EU's pedantry and penchant for red tape (OK, its precision, clarity and attention to detail), I would imagine that only flags of EU member countries would be allowed, and it is the UK rather than England, Scotland or whatever that is the member here.

I got new number plates a short time back with the logo on it too... but it had a note to say that you DID NEED A SEPERATE G.B STICKER ( in addition too ) if you intended to travel outside the uk....

This should clarify things for you. From AA website. Near bottom.

This is from the DVLA site

Flags and national identifying letters

You can display one of the following flags with identifying letters on the left-hand side of the number plate:

• Union Flag
• Cross of St George
• Cross of St Andrew (also known as the Saltire)
• Red Dragon of Wales

The letters, or national identifiers, you can have are:

• GREAT BRITAIN, Great Britain or GB
• UNITED KINGDOM, United Kingdom or UK
• CYMRU, Cymru, CYM or Cym
• ENGLAND, England, ENG, Eng
• SCOTLAND, Scotland, SCO or Sco
• WALES or Wales

If you display one of these national flags and identifiers, you will still need to have a GB sticker when travelling in Europe.

The flag must be above the identifier. You can’t have the flag or letters on the number plate margin, and neither can be more than 50 millimetres wide.

Euro symbol

If you display the Euro symbol and Great Britain (GB) national identifier on your number plate, then you won’t need a separate GB sticker when travelling within the European Union.

Note the last paragraph...as I said you are OK with GB on your plate

I guess that the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are on their own, being not part of the United Kingdom or the EU (according to that authoritative source, Yahoo Answers).
