The "New" Number plate system still confuses it seems:

The new 55 number plate was introduced on the 1st September in the UK, but, according to a survey, three quarters of UK motorists still do not understand how the numbering system works, and that is after some 4 years....

This latest survey, carried out by Post Office car insurance, showed that over 40% had no idea what the new number plate number would look like.

Another 27% thought the new reg would be 05 – which was introduced in March 2005 – while some respondents believed the first two letters of the number plate represented the car owner's initials (but maybe that's due to so many cherished plates being around today!!!

The current system was introduced in September 2001, and car registration plates now being updated twice a year, on March 1 and September 1, a step away from the time when the registration came out just once a year on the 1st August (this once a year system brought chaos to the car market place, with buyers waiting for months just to get the new registration letter).

The "new" system of seven letters and numbers is designed to show where and when a car was registered, but it seems has led to a lot of confusion.

THE FACTS on Number Plate "Coding"

The first letter of the number plate represents the area where the car was registered, and the second relates to a particular DVLA office it was registered through. For example, a car with the letters AB would be from the Anglia region (A) and registered at the Peterborough DVLA office, all of which makes it easier to understand where a car came from.

The next two numbers represent the date the car is registered. The first shows whether the car is registered in the first or second half of the year – the number 0 is for March-August registrations, and a 5 for those from September to February. The second number shows the year, so a car with a 53 plate was registered in September 2003, and an 04 was registered in March 2004, so it is all quite logical.The last three letters in the registration are randomly chosen.

A spokesman for Post Office car insurance said: ‘It’s been four years since the current number-plate format was introduced, and still only a quarter of people understand what the letters and numbers mean'. Maybe it's time that some more effort went into educating the public, if only so that it helps people to understand the construction of the number (would make it easier for people to remember the plates perhaps, and that would help the Police).

‘With this much confusion, those driving brand new cars in September might not turn as many heads as they’d like.’

This in turn might be the reason so many people are buying their own "Personalised Number Plates". Now we at 4Plates don't sell the registrations, but once you have got one, we can supply you with the actual plate for your car / vehicle and besides that we can make it really "special" as we offer a whole range of "vanity" plates, including "football" versions..
