Post by chippie »

Can someone explain the rules concerning number plates when traveling in Europe i.e. size/logo's etc.

Basically, if you have a UK legal plate then youll be fine in Europe. If that plate has a approved GB badge on it then you wont need a GB sticker and the Euro plod will leave you alone. The Police abroad will love you with an illegal plate if you have one.

To be honest i know a lot of bikers who have gone abroad on their bikes with non uk standard plates and have never been stopped for it abroad.

Always had the intention of coming,But not going to commit myself to anything
until at least three to four weeks before.With the way things are in the building
industry at the moment,work or should I say continuity of work are my main
priority at the moment.If everything goes to plan [and you know what they say about plans]
I should be ok.Any spare beds still going?

It does alert following drivers that you might end up on the wrong side of the road when turning left or right, too! :lol:
