Kathryn Bird explains the UK's switch from GB to vehicle country code stickers. Old GB stickers must be removed or you'll face fines. When driving to Spain, Cyprus, or Malta, you need an extra UK sticker on top of what's on your plate.
Hey guys, just a quick tip about something that I didn't actually know until about 10 seconds ago. Obviously, the UK has now changed its designator from GB to UK, so if you have an old GB sticker anywhere on your vehicle, you need to remove it, otherwise you risk being fined. Normally, it's okay for you just to put UK stickers with the little British flag on your reg plate. That's fine if you've got space on your reg plates. However, if you are planning to visit Spain, Cyprus, or Malta, you must have an additional UK sticker on your vehicle. I have no clue why, but those are the rules. Don't forget, of course, if you are towing a trailer, you will need to put a UK sticker on the trailer as well so that it is clearly visible. And also, if you're planning on visiting Ireland, they don't require you to have a UK sticker anywhere on your vehicle. Hope that helps. See you on the next one.
