WHAT'S IN A CAR NUMBER PLATE?

EIGHT YEARS after it was introduced, the date identifier on British car number plates is still leaving most motorists baffled.

Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency officials are said to have been surprised by survey findings that revealed that fewer than one-fifth of people questioned were able to recognise that the 09 and 59 numbers on a registration plate relate to this year.

'It is alarming that the date recognition system within the current style of new vehicle registrations continues to leave people confused. Only 17 per cent of the people we spoke to could recognise that the 09 and 59 numbers related to vehicles registered from March 1 and September 1 2009," said personalised registrations marketing manager Damian Lawson.

'As sure as night follows day, 10 follows 9 and 60 follows 59 and yet, incredibly, our survey has shown a vast majority of those motorists we quizzed could not answer our question asking what new registrations follow our 09 and 59 series in 2010.'

Introduced in September 2001, the current style of registrations comprises two letters, a two-figure age identifier, a space and three letters. Next year's identifiers will be 10 and 60.

When the current number plate style came into force, the DVLA informed motorists that vehicles registered from March 1 each year would be recognised by the lower numerical series and those first on the road in September by the higher numerical figure - 2002 is highlighted by 02 and 52, 2003 by 03 and 53, 2004 by 04 and 54, 2005 by 05 and 55 and so on.
