All I can say is, I don't like it. In fact, I don't like anything that comes from those buffoons in Brussels/Strasbourg. Next thing we know, we'll have to salute the EU flag whenever it is paraded through the streets.

I know French police envy our number plates because they are so much clearer, especially at a distance, than French ones. Everyone else should change to our style.

[bluemoon1]

I don't really look at the number plate when I catch my bus

[Old_Geezer]

Another scare story ?
I can't see even they would be that foolish.

[youngmafbog]

You will also have to have tags to trace you. And display a EU flag on ity no doubt.

More 'creep' from the EU masters. I wonder if Cameron and Milliband will see it as such?

Can only be good news for Farage, couldn't come at abetter time. Bruxelles is so arrogant they probably dont eve realise EU elections are upon us.

[RATTER15]

I love their sprouts!!

[youngmafbog]

And it will be tough for those who have forked out good many for a personal plate. Wonder what the DVLA will think since their revenue on them is likely to dry up immediately.

The sooner we are out the better.

[youngmafbog]

Give you wind and contribute to Global warming though OG :-)

[youngmafbog]

sorry, Ratter.

[Gromit]

This story pops up every couple of years and is nonsense.

[Prudie]

Absolutely gives more fuel to the fire of UKIP - in fact I think I might vote for them now :-)
say Non!

[Svejk]

that's what they said about straight bananas, gromit.

[youngmafbog]

It is not nonsense Gromit it has been tabled by a dutch MEP.

the EU are itching to force the UK to adopt everything Europe, they are still smarting because we wont fly the EU flag instead of the Union jack and will see it as a way to force us into something we dont need or want.

Looks like a landslide for Farage.

Nothing new really this was reported 13 years ago.

/// In a debate held late on Tuesday night, Keith Hill, the Transport Minister, was asked in the Commons: "If a motorist does not have the European Union symbol on the registration plate and just has the Union Flag, could the motorist be stopped and prosecuted because of that?" He replied: "I think the answer is yes." There is a maximum fine of £1,000. ///

[youngmafbog]

Not just the flag AOG, it is the whole format of the plate the diktat will control

[ToraToraTora]

they'd have to merge all the DVLA equivalents first and that would involve harmonision of all the motoring laws and point systems etc. Not to mention most of yerp drives on the wrong side of the road. Not really feasable but these sorts of things are omnipresent dreams of the EU mandarins as well as our own yerpaphiles. The British will tolerate a lot before rebellion but take away the cherished number system? a step too far!

[jno]

am I the only one displaying the EU flag on my driving licence then? Is this an outrage? Should I hand it back?

[Hopkirk]

Don't worry Gordie, it might not apply to Scotland by then.
