UK or GB national stickers on historic vehicles

(1/3) > >>

I've made a point of putting a black and silver GB sticker on CB400F. I already have a historic style black metal number plate as is allowed, but what about the national identifier we have to wear abroad, even on motorcycles I've just learnt, I never complied though. I dislike the UK sticker as opposed to GB, did political correctness cause it?  ::) I feel many continentals will mistake us for Ukrainians too, confounding the object of the thing. Anyone know the finer points here?

Nurse Julie:
Unfortunately George, it's needs to be a UK sticker if riding abroad but, if you're just staying in UK, you can keep the GB sticker 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 But.... Driving in Spain, Cyprus and Malta......
You must display a UK sticker to drive in Spain, Cyprus and Malta, no matter what’s on your number plate 😂😂😂😂 Here's a link to the regs.

Thanks for this Julie, I wondered if I could dodge that one if I ever take Elen over the ditch!

Apparently it was at the request of the UK government to change to UK. But on the ferry to northern Spain recently about 20% of the vehicles were still showing GB.

My interpretation of that is that some government Muppet (sorry minister) wanted to be able to say they had been involved in #@%$, so pushed for a change that they could lay claim to...

Great dinner party for him/her....unnecessary hassle and expense and red tape for everyone else.
