From the BBC:
UK drivers may have to get an international driving permit if they want to drive in some European countries after a no-deal Brexit.
The government says that after March 2019 "your driving licence may no longer be valid by itself" in the EU, in its latest no-deal planning papers.
It also warns that Britons travelling to the EU may need to make sure their passports have six months left to run.
That's it, chaps. They've got us game, set and match. Let's have a second referendum and vote 'Remain'. But wait...
International permits cost £5.50 and are available at some post offices.
Ah, right.

G, woah! This propaganda is put out by ageing bureaucrats and corporatists.
I read somewhere that an EU regulation introduced a few years ago means EU citizens can't drive non-EU cars into the EU. This affected car rental agencies around Geneva because they could no longer rent French cars to Swiss citizens going to France. So any EU citizens living in the UK would not be able to drive their UK cars across the tunnel, but if they have been keeping their EU car instead of re-registering it in the UK, they can still drive back. This is arguably more relevant than the IDP thing but perhaps it doesn't really affect mononational Brits. Anyway it appears to be mainly the southern and eastern EU countries which require IDPs, based on guidance for Americans who want to rent cars.
C, interesting, ta.
