Will EU country identifier be removed from cars registered in the UK after Brexit? [closed]

It is not uncommon to see cars that have been registered in the UK have a small section on the left-hand side of the number plate that will indicate that the vehicle is registered in the UK. For example: Will this identifier be removed from vehicles that already have it on their number plates, or will cars still have this identifier after Brexit?

Best Answer

When traveling in the UK I do see more cars without the EU/GB tag than with. (In other EU countries there is a 95% + number of EU tagged cars it seems, in the UK it seems about 5%.) So I think there will not be that many people who will have to get a new set of license plates.
But as cars with plates from before their countries joined the EU still use them years later, I do not think it will be a thing which will have to be done with high speed.

As with all Brexit related things, we can only guess for now.

I assume that those people who have the special EU plates and want to get plates without the tag will have to pay for their own.
