Hopefully a quick and easy question!

Just got a new van with number plates containing the blue Euro stars and "GB" on it. Do I still need a separate GB plate please?

No.

But I have stuck one on our van anyway. Never know when an ill-informed and stroppy gendarme might have cause to look for trouble, and it's best to avoid a situation where some fast talking (in French Rolling Eyes ) just might be required. Rolling Eyes

They cost pennies, and don't look out of place if positioned with a bit of forethought.

I always carry a couple of GB plates, they're useful for covering up the odd reversing 'ding'. Very Happy

We've seen countless GB registered vehicles with neither, but to answer your question a GB badge is not required your GB plate is sufficient.

Yes if you travel outside the EU for instance Switzerland. Smile Smile and I think you might need one in Croatia.

We have one for visiting Turkey.

A good point Don! All the EU ascension countries are running around with their pre-entry plates already (EU style with blue strip, just without the stars) - TR, HR even Albanian's here in Greece! I guess you can't be too careful for the sake of a £1 sticker.

One question you might be able to answer is the 60/70/80kph stickers on many vans - where are these required? I read Serbia?

Don,

I believe Switzerland accepts the EU plate, and I think, but am not certain that Croatia does too. Turkey definitely doesn't.
