Advice please. If you have a new style numberplate with Euro stars and GB on it, do you need a sticker on back of vehicle/caravan also? I think not, but I might be wrong. Thanks

Yup, That's my interpretation too !Regarding: The Government announced on 28 December 2001 the intention to permit the display of nationalflags and symbols on vehicle number plates.
When the regulations are amended they will provide for the voluntary display of the Union flag, Scottish Saltire, Cross of St George and Red Dragon.
This makes number plates with national flags and symbols legal in the UK but not legal without a GB sticker on the Continent.
Why do NI cars display GB on their number when NI is not a part of Great Britain? It is however in the UK.Dear all,
The following is the current legislation from the UK/GOV/DVLA site and confirms there is no need for a seperate GB sticker if driving within the EU, if you have the Euro plates fitted.......
Since 1st September 2001 there has been an optional provision for the display of a Euro-plate for vehicles registered in the UK.
The Euro-plate is a number plate that incorporates the symbol of the European Union (a circle of 12 stars on a blue background) with the national identification letters of the member states below.
This symbol is located on the far left-hand side of the number plate.
Vehicles displaying this symbol no longer have to use the traditional oval shaped national identifier(GB) sticker when travelling within the European Union.
All vehicles registered in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have, by international convention, the distinguishing sign GB.

Football team crests etc are not allowed.
i hope my hubby does not read this when he comes in from work NI is part of GB unless someone has moved it.... on this subject my parents have a motorhome registered in the ISLE OF MAN and the GBM on the number plate has never caused them problems any where in Europe or North Africa..
