Hi Degus
Depends where you are travelling.
UK - no legal requirement
France & Spain - Yes (plastic accepted)
Italy - Yes, but it must be the Metal one, plastic not accepted.
The AA website should help if you need to check other countries.

Thanks very much for that.

I would have to suggest that you use one anyway, it's much better to use the warning squre as it's a safety issue - regardless of whether there is a legal requirement or not.
