Number plate format check

[GSXRMovistar]

Hey all, I need a new set of plates for one of the cars and after checking gov.uk and various plate sites I'm still not 100% sure.

Plate needs to be legal for road use, plus a trip into France without the need for putting additional UK stickers on the car.

Would this format be okay?

If your number plate includes the UK identifier with the Union flag (also known as the Union Jack), you do not need a UK sticker to drive in France.

Sounds like you're good to go.

That's how I read it also....oh well fingers crossed.

I find it rather amusing that the French need a sticker to tell you that you're from the UK. Completely different number plate format (and colour even!), lights are all set up differently, the driver is sitting in the other side of the bloody car but yes, we still need a sticker.

Are the French blind?

Their driving capability would suggest so

It's easy to spot a French driver as he will be so far up your arse that he might as well be in the boot!

He's checking your numberplate for a flag

This must have been made by AI as there's no crashes!

The only decent driving in France:

IIRC some countries (e.g. Spain) you still need a UK sticker even if you have the flag on the plate.

Au contraire. I present to you, from the same year, the French movie Taxi:

I loved this when it came out, the scenes with the Mercedes were great too! I always find the moped bits hilarious, when they're doing Endo's etc Sequel was 'good enough' for a silly film, too.

Ronin still wins though
