No one with any self respect is putting that sticker on their car.

Unionists will.

Am I imagining it, or do some headbangers already run about with an "NI" sticker on their vehicle?

Can't recall seeing any of those.

But labelling your car is like wearing a GAA/Celtic Top . I don't have any distinguishable labels on mine, because I don't want a brick through my window.

No need for GB stickers. All cars from OWC already have significantly different number plates from those registered in RoI.  Our cars have yellow rear plates and all RoI cars have the county on the plates. So, they can be distinguished easily.

Already we have our usual sectarian demarcation for NI cars when the owners take them to the continental mainland on holiday. Unionists have GB stickers, nationalist use IRL stickers and core Alliance voters use the non-existent NI stickers.

Also most use IRL stickers on cars on holiday to gain favour with the continental drivers who most likely will not like the British.

You can multiply that effect by about 1000 given recent developments.

In ancient times, NI cars never needed a sticker in the ROI, while GB ones strictly speaking did. Which makes sense as their sticker said GB.

Mind you, this is strictly illegal.

Many of us up here in the North do get excited by 'personalised' English number plates it has to be said.

A different discussion I suppose.

As recent ago as the nineties you wouldn't have seen many English plates and they would even have been treated with suspicion in some quarters but who blinks an eyelid at them now.

When the Republic comes, and the day is not far off, the vain will just have to have the same number plates as everyone else.

Seen a 'NI' sticker on a car today. Don't recall ever seeing one before.
