Female motorists can 'fly the flag'
New rules mean patriotic drivers can now display national flags on their number plates.
The Department of Transport has amended regulations today which allow motorists in England, Scotland and Wales to display the Union flag, Cross of St George, Cross of St Andrew - also known as the Saltire - or Red Dragon of Wales, as well as a number of national identifiers.
Transport secretary Geoff Hoon said the display of national flags is a "healthy expression" of national pride.
"It is right that motorists are now able to celebrate this pride by displaying flags on their number plates and I look forward to seeing our national symbols on cars around the country," he added.
However, the new regulations come a little too late for St George's Day - which was on April 23rd. Meanwhile, St Andrew's Day is celebrated by the Scottish on November 30th.
