Hi,

Do I have to have a GB sticker on my car if driving to NL & DE if my car dosn't have a GB section in the number plate?

Thanks

[TheBoy]

I believe so

[tunnie]

yup! I have seen UK cars driving without GB number plate or GB sticker in Holland, but its not worth the risk.

I got some GB plates on mine (came with the car) very handy for Europe road trips

GB sticker: You need to put a GB sticker on your car; if not you will get an on-the-spot fine. If you have a Euro-symbol on your number plate (BS AU 145d standard) then you don’t need a GB sticker when driving in Europe. But if you go outside the EU, and that includes Switzerland, you need a GB sticker as well.

GB sticker

AA GB sticker Compulsory, and failure to comply could result in an on-the-spot fine.
Euro-plates - number plates that include the GB euro-symbol - have been legal since March 2001 and make display of a conventional sticker unnecessary within the EU.

In some countries outside the EU a conventional sticker is required even if you have euro-plates, so it is always safer to display one.
