Yes it is compulsory ! if you are traveling to france / spain / etc you must have either a GB sticker ( if travelling fron england ) on the back or the new style e.u number plate`s .
And you must also carry spare light bulb`s / fuses / a warning triangle / all your document`s and have head light converters !
If you get caught without them then it`s a on the spot fine ( and i mean on the spot ! pay there & then ) if you have no money then they will escort you to a cash machine to get it !

Lesroys is wrong. He's just been lucky.
It is mandatory to have a country badge. Just because the border police don't enforce it doesn't make any difference. I suspect that they would only pick up on its omission if they were to stop you for something more serious.

Yes it is compulsory and could result in an on the spot fine if you don't have one.
A number plate displaying your country's symbol will suffice.

NO. I have never owned one and drive to the Continent on average once every two months and have been doing so for the past 20 years.

Not compulsory but present day, most UK number plates incorporate the "GB" insignia.
