Just in case you missed it - If anyone is going abroad in the future they will need a UK identifier on their vehicle.
Previously I always used to order a registration plate with GB surrounded by the EU stars so I was covered for my European trips and I was quite content to carry on like this until forced to stop.
It seems they day has come – Unsurprisingly since we have now left the EU if we take our vehicles abroad it must have a UK sticker. Carrying a plate with GB on will not do it, if your registration plate shows a GB (even with a Union Flag rather than the EU stars) you will have to apply a UK sticker as well.

I rather suspect that the switch to UK from GB is all part of Bojo's intention to make us feel that we are one united country and the peoples of Scotland and Northern Ireland are not in any way discontented.
Never mind, if the Scots do achieve independence and Northern Ireland starts to blur into the Republic there will just be England and Wales in the union and we can all pay to change our number plates again to read Wangland.
OK, the stickers to cover up my EU plates aren't expensive, but it's yet another few pounds to add to my personal Brexit bill.
:goodpost: I read about this other forums, personally I won't be travelling to Johnny foreigner lands so don't need one, but those that do plan to travel then it's wise to be properly prepared
I replaced the GB sticker on my car with a UK one.
If they object to the GB and EU stars on my number plate I don't care.
I have yet to decide what to do about the bikes.
I see it as a pointless waste of time and money that nobody outside the UK will give a flying flip about. My 2 friends who work for the Belgian Police told me that they don't currently give a damn whether cars have a nationality sticker or not. Besides, he said that the HUGE yellow rear plates on UK cars are a dead giveaway as to the country the car is registered in.

"Wangland" ... so wrong and yet so apt
More Brexit stupidity.
