Is there a legal dimension for GB stickers in Europe

[Fairipiete]

Hi can anyone tell me if there is a legal size that a GB sticker should be.

The dimensions for oval stickers are stipulated within the UNECE Convention on Road Traffic, of 8 November 1968.

Annex 3 states (in part):

� The distinguishing sign... shall consist of one to three letters in capital Latin characters. The letters shall have a height of at least 0.08 m and their strokes a width of at least 0.01 m. The letters shall be painted in black on a white ground having the shape of an ellipse with the major axis horizontal.

� When the distinguishing sign consists of only one letter, the major axis of the ellipse may be vertical.

� On motor cycles and their trailers, the dimensions of the axes of the ellipse shall be at least 0.175 m and 0.115 m. On other motor vehicles and their trailers, the dimensions of the axes of the ellipse shall be at least:

(a) 0.24 m and 0.145 m if the distinguishing sign comprises three letters;
(b) 0.175 m and 0.115m if the distinguishing sign comprises less than three letters.

That is correct ONLY if you are driving within another EU country AND the EU style Number Plate has GB printed below the ring of stars NOT the other UK sanctioned identifiers CYM, ENG or SCO.
