Post by: waspy on 15 January 2008, 17:18:02

They have to make it as complex as possible. About time we got rid of this stupid age related plate thing, the only other country in the world I've seen using it is Ireland. It does nothing more than pandering to snobbery -- of course the car makers love it because the snobs feel compelled to buy a new car so they have the latest plate ::)

If I ever buy a brand new car (unlikely TBH as it's a complete waste of money) it'll be getting a dateless plate before I drive it from the showroom.

... and when we're all old(er) & decrepid(er) the plan is to turn it all around ie ABC 01DE

 :-/I've often wondered that. Also do Ireland & smaller UK provinces buy our obsolete reg's as coverplates? Seems to be a good market with us buying theirs. :-/
