UK driving licence in EU after Brexit

Just been reading this considering I’m driving in & out of Europe fairly regularly.
- IDP’s
- Green Cards for insurance

Thought I’d share as becomes immediately enforceable the moment we leave, so knowing how hot the EU Rozzers are know they’ll see this as a cash cow.

Not just that, but if you do have an accident, you'll have to hope the foreign driver's insurance company play ball...otherwise it will become a drawn out process to recover any monies.

Another excuse to raise premiums

The fact that we may need a GB sticker in addition to GB plates or we replace our GB plates with the Euro sign logo to GB plates with no logo is a joke.

As is this “In the event of an accident in an EU or EEA country caused by an uninsured or an untraced driver, UK residents may not receive compensation if there is no EU Exit deal.”

So we put Polish/Romanian/Lithuanian plates on - and drive like the Belgians

My first trip out to Germany and Netherlands is mid April - I’m not going to worry !
I might get an IDP from the Post Office just in case. I will just leave the GB Euro plates on.

Agree, not going to worry at this stage.

IDP section repeats the word MAY, so no facts at this stage.

Insurance looks uncertain at this stage as well.

I'll await the definite changes rather than what might happen.

Not sure I could get the Zed to move that slowly.

Surely if any of this becomes a reality , mainland Europeans coming over here will have to do similar ?
Tit for tat they can't have it both ways.

Footman James have just e-mailed me offering me a Green Card in case I am planning an EU trip soon. I am, so I'll give them a call...
