UK Driving Licences no change Abroad
So we were told there would be a need for special forms to drive abroad NOT THE CASE
The Government has marked the first anniversary of Brexit by removing the EU flag from all UK driving licences and number plate designs.
Existing licences and number plates will still be valid; the new versions will be issued to everyone renewing a licence or getting one for the first time.
Transport secretary Grant Shapps said: “Changing the designs of our driving licences and number plates is a historic moment for British motorists, and a reassertion of our independence from the EU one year on from our departure.
“Looking to the future, whether it’s for work or for holidays abroad, these changes mean that those who want to drive in the EU can continue to do so with ease.”
The new designs coincide with the beginning of a number of agreements recently made between the UK and member states for British drivers.
Thanks to these agreements, UK drivers who hold photocard licences will not need an international driving permit to drive in any of the 27 EU member states, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland or Liechtenstein.
UK drivers will also not need to display a GB sticker in most EU countries if their number plate has GB or GB with a Union Flag on it.

I blame it on internet. Had the same problem, last week I think, with multiple postings, but my internet was very flaky with the bad weather.

For over a year now, all emails that I have received from a group that I am in have appeared in duplicate....
