NEWSFLASH: How the EU vote will affect Britain’s drivers
Discussion
Revealed: The Changes on Britain's Roads due to BREXIT
• If Britain chooses BREXIT, the traffic lights will change to red, white and blue – to reflect the Union Jack
• If Britain chooses to remain, all number plates will be legally required to carry an EU flag
• Latest poll figures show that 49% of Brits back BREXIT1
As the British public face a monumental and divisive referendum over whether Britain should remain in or leave the EU, Confuseddotcom can reveal the contents of a secret document that details the changes facing motorists across the country – should we choose to stay or go.
The impact of BREXIT on the country’s economy and system of governance has been debated far and wide, but the impact on Britain’s motorists is something that hasn’t been as widely debated. But, whichever option the British public chooses, motorists can expect some major changes on the roads across the UK.
In a secret document seen by the leading price comparison website, details of the changes that could have a huge impact on the life of motorists across the country have been set out. And the proposed changes might have an impact on the choice of many Brits…
Should Britain vote to remain, changes seen will include:
• The M5 becomes an experimental “Autobahn”, mirroring the roads in Germany with no upper speed limit.
• All number plates will be fitted with the Flag of Europe to reflect a new commitment to the EU.
• Britain will finally take the European road system on board – and will take to driving on the right side of the road.
• Vauxhall will employ a name change to become Opel – as it is known across the continent.
• On-the-spot fine becomes truly on the spot – with British police given powers to escort motorists to the nearest cashpoint to claim the proceeds of the fine.
Should Britain vote Brexit, changes seen will include:
• Traffic lights across the country will no longer be red, amber, and green – rather they will become a more patriotic red, white, and blue.
• When travelling abroad, a two-tier system for petrol prices: with cars with a British number plate having to pay British prices when travelling on the continent.
• Imported cars will face higher import taxes – in a bid to get people buying British again. This could see the return of brands such as Austin-Healey, Daimler and Triumph.
• Imported car parts could face increased taxes – which could lead to Brits making do with the wrong parts for their car.
• New driving tests for motorists hitting the continent. Drivers will have to take a special driving test when they enter Europe – to ensure they can traverse the continent safely.
While some of these changes are only minor, British motorists need to ensure they take steps to prepare for any impact these changes will have. With the EU referendum taking place in June, any summer holidays planned after this could be impacted by any changes to driving on the continent.
Matthew Lloyd, motoring expert, says:
“With the news so focused on whether Brexit will be good or bad for the British economy, what it means for the motorists of Great Britain has steered under the radar so far. Whether Britain stays in the EU or leaves, motorists could see substantial changes to the way they get around the UK.
“But, either way, British drivers can take steps to ensure the cost of driving doesn’t increase. Using price comparison sites, like Confuseddotcom, to shop around for insurance deals means Brits can get better deals on the cost of a premium.”
