I wonder if anyone knows what happens to car registrations in 2010 - In March does '59'become '10' and come Sept. 2010 we get '60'?
On a related point, what was the rationale in commencing the new registrations with '51' back in 2001?

It seems logical.

They'd reached the end of the alphabet with 'Y', and it was already September, so they couldn't really start at '01' when it was already more than half (0.5) way through the year.
That's how I've worked it out anyway.

This is my understanding of how it will work
March 2010 - XX10
Sep 2010 - XX61
March2011 - XX11
Sep2011 - XX62
Etc etc.

There was a leaflet is my recent tax disc reminder letter. It explained future number plate permitations. I'll dig it out if I still have it kicking around.

Or perhaps I'll just google instead.
Looks like the current system will run until 2049.

Sorry, too slow typing :-)

What happens after September 2049?

They will reverse the plate layout like they did with the old system, i.e. an example plate might be ABC 01MR. That's my understanding anyway.
|
Why don't they just start with 1111AAAAA and then just keep on going ? Or even just let anybody use what they want provided its not already in use ?
I remember the mess we used to get ourselves into with a smart part numbering system so its hardly suprising the mess they get into wiht licence numbers. Its general not that bright to try and complicate stuff. Its not like computers can track it down any quicker if its logical.

What happens after September 2049?
Cars will be banned and we'll have registration tatoos as we shuffle along the travelator.

What happens after September 2049?
We'll all be using a reliable public transport system long before then.
