License plate, Symbol other than GB/EU, Is this allowed?
Discussion
Hi I've just purchased a private plate and was looking at the rules.I know about the spacing and how letters cant be altered etc
Now i was thinking about putting a symbol on the left side of the plate . Its says on Gov.Uk Website that you can only have GB or EU or a national flag at the left hand side of the plate. However I have seen numerous cars with a manufacturers logo there. Are these cars breaking the law or is just seen as acceptable if its a manufacturers logo?
Any clarity would help, thanks

I occasionally wind the missus up with this as she has a Welsh flag on her number plate which I've always understood to be illegal. The above seems to confirm that as I imagine the definition of a national flag is that of a sovereign EU nation?jurbie said:

You may want to stop. The red dragon is a perfectly legal flag on a number plate. Cat

Nah it's more fun to wind her up but thanks both for the info. Breadvan72 said:
I find the little England flags on number plates helpful. They serve much the same function as those little Christian fish symbols in warning road users that the driver of the vehicle thus adorned is very probably a twunt.
Saw one of those on a Lambo in London, I don't know which was worse, the horrible plate, their terrible driving or the really badly proportioned England flag.I am sure I read somewhere that SCO and CYM with the appropriate flags are either allowed or 'tolerated' alternatives to GB.

You would have discovered that they are definitely allowed had your reading been done via the link posted earlier by Puddenchucker. Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
