Yes, but thats when being used in mainland Europe countries that require them. Tim was talking about use in the UK. Interesting that it says that the trailer plate should be located as far from the tow vehicle plate as possible. Most trucks have them fairly close if not next door.
Terence, it’s just UK catching up with a Euro convention- eventually! And I doubt anything to do with leaving the EU, as if we’re not in it we don’t need to conform.... As Gerard says, it should allow trailers to be more easily traced if the number is permanently attached.
Still puzzled as to why Spain not requiring the plates though, as they’ve always had separate trailer numbers.....
