Following the Brexit vote will people with the EU style GB number plates need to change them?

I'm guessing they will eventually?

No need, any more than people with national flags or footy logos need to. Just another item on the list of squillions of things that need to change as we disengage.

We will probably need GB stickers when we travel abroad though.

...well, you could resolve two issues at once, and move back to jockland.......

Your initial statement had not escaped me...

All options being considered.

They weren't mandatory in the first place, you could still have a plain number plate with a "GB" sticker.

Despite being in the "Remain" camp I didn't particularly care for the EU symbol on number plates, being of the opinion that one should be able to display ones national flag, as many, including me, did.

Indeed, a UK car should display, if wanted, a national flag. (I have no beef with Cornwall, Wales and Scotland, all of which could be seen.

Unless it is one of those clip-on-the-window miniflags, as seen during most major sporting events.

The dealer I bought my car from puts a Scottish flag with SCO plates on all their cars. I really don't care enough to get them changed. All cars registered in Scotland have registrations starting with "S" with the second letter indicating the area alphabetically from south to north. Mine last two cars have had "SK" plates, one of the Edinburgh registrations. I have also had "SL" and "SO" plates, also Edinburgh.

Given the enormity of this referendum, i am genuinely stunned at the triviality of this discussion.

Trying to give credence to the OP, my honest answer to the question is - "NO" (why should it ?)

Also wondering why the OP didn't respond to the excellent post by R.P. ("Keep it simple.") ?

This one,

"In or out ? Keep it simple. - R.P."

I think that it is relevant that our opinions and comments are related to our "in" or "out" stance,

just wondered what PR,s stance is.

RP's thread was about the politics, Stan. We're supposed to be avoiding that here.

PR is not RP reversing in, but it has been a tough day for some of us.

Point taken, so back to my answer to the original question = "no", not immediately, but will fade away in the fullness of time.

Like the Welsh dragon, the Scottish saltire, the Shamrock, and the Cross of St. George, the EU style plates will just indicate an affinity, but will not affect either the political, or the motoring situation.

(IMO of course !) :-)

My vote is for raised silver lettering on a black background.

Actually, scrub that - given the number of cars around with defective rear lights, the reflective number plate is sometimes the first thing I see.

It was just a thought I had following the referendum. Not the only thought but the only motoring thought!

Mine was that now perhaps classic cars won't be banned from cities after all.

People who drive older cars have a longer time-span exposure to the consequences of EU membership, so it's undemocratic that their vote doesn't count more than people who drive newer cars. :)
