    Folks : Updated guidance re driving in a post-brexit environment https://www.gov.uk/guidance/prepare-to-drive-in-the-eu-after-brexit

    (updated today )

    See especially sections on new plates and stickers for UK cars
    to be honest, its a joke how many UK cars drive around the continent already with no Euro plates but also no GB sticker.
    The only ones as bad as them are visitors from the middle east who not only dont have any country ID, the plates are sometimes in arabic too.

    I see another crazy point
    "EU licence holders can drive in the UK on their EU licence:until it expires or until they turn 70 – which ever comes first."

    Which if I read it right in the irish context, no over 70s from the south can drive up the north if theres a no deal brexit! That cant be right ?

    whichever comes first
    Today it's already that you can drive in the UK on your original EU licence until it expires, or you are 70.

    COMING TO LIVE IN GREAT BRITAIN
    If you have a valid EU/EEA licence, you can drive any vehicle covered by the categories shown on your licence for the periods set out below.

    Ordinary licences:
    Until you are 70 or have lived in GB for three years, whichever is longer.

    The phrase 'Until you are 70 or have lived in GB for three years, whichever is longer', means that you can drive in the UK any vehicle covered by the categories shown on your valid EU/EEA licence until you are 70
