Anyone bought their new UK sticker yet?

I'm hoping that this will be bullet proof in France and Spain!

Sorry to tell you but your GB sticker is non compliant

The dimensions for oval stickers are stipulated within the UNECE Convention on Road Traffic, of 8 November 1968.

Annex 3 states (in part):

� The distinguishing sign shall consist of one to three letters in capital Latin characters. The letters shall have a height of at least 0.08 m and their strokes a width of at least 0.01 m. The letters shall be painted in black on a white ground having the shape of an ellipse with the major axis horizontal.

� When the distinguishing sign consists of only one letter, the major axis of the ellipse may be vertical.

� On motor cycles and their trailers, the dimensions of the axes of the ellipse shall be at least 0.175 m and 0.115 m. On other motor vehicles and their trailers, the dimensions of the axes of the ellipse shall be at least:

(a) 0.24 m and 0.145 m if the distinguishing sign comprises three letters;
(b) 0.175 m and 0.115m if the distinguishing sign comprises less than three letters. That's about 7 x 5 inches in old money

That’s the kind of reply I like! It’s not an opinion, it’s fact, backed up by the original source…. Unless of course there’s been a subsequent amendment!

Would your average French bobby realise GB plates are illegal or where the bloody hell is UK

I do believe it used to stand for United Kingdom that somehow got lost in the mists of time. Sadly

Do we still have a United Kingdom?

I think you misspelt it ...Untied Kingdom !

That’s a bit presumptuous, it may be EW, NI could be UK (EU (SM)). (Single Market)

Will LAN be Lancashire or Lanarkshire once we've all had our bit of independence

Next we'll have to learn another language as English will not be accepted. Who the hell dream's up all this crap?

Second most spoken language in the world.BUSBY

I think you will find its third, behind Mandarin and Spanish in number of native speakers. However if you add in non native, second language, its first.

'Don't blame me' sticker available on Amazon £3.49 with free postage
No export charges

 

[cyberyacht]

The dimensions of the ellipse(oval) seem superfluous if the vehicle is white. All that is needed is the letters, probably available from your your local hardware shop.

Ours

 

[wiljoy]

I've just printed 500 for a customer so they'll probably be on the Internet soon. Straight forward UK to cover the existing GB.

I think that's a bit rich. The bastards (copyright John Major) started whining in 1975 and kept it up for 40 years.
