Private Number Plates

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I feel that putting your name on your car as it’s number plate is a bit like peeing on your car as it doesn’t mean anything to anyone looking except you.

Do you agree? If so, what is the fucking point?

Btw I have two and both aren’t associated with my name

My dad bought us all one when we passed our tests. They are a bit wanky but I never forget my reg. When I have a motor that is.

I personally don't think that private plates should ever have been allowed. It is obviously a good way for the government make loads of money.

For me... I think that number plates should just be the ID of a vehicle and not a fashion accessory.

In some country's you only ever have one plate. When you buy a new car you register the new car to your plate.

I bought my son one for his 18th.

It was actually an 11 plate, but was a play on his name.

Took him til he was 23 to have a bike he could actually put it on though

To buy parking tickets. If they change the car that much that they can't remember the plate then one would also assume that they constantly have to pay the transfer fee between each new vehicle. Choice between memorising a number plate whilst you purchase a ticket from a ticket machine that you should be parked close enough to it that you could look at your own car, just seems a pretty stupid reason to own one, in those circumstances.

"I feel that putting your name on your car as it’s number plate is a bit like peeing on your car as it doesn’t mean anything to anyone looking except you.

Do you agree? If so, what is the fucking point?

Btw I have two and both aren’t associated with my name

I don't have a car but identifying it as yours seems intrinsically illogical

"I hate having to remember the number plate of whichever car we have at the moment, a private plate makes it one less thing to have to think about.

It's no different than changing your pin number to something memorable when you get a new credit card really.

Why do you need to remember your number plate?

Car park ticket machines

Hotels always want your reg number

Trying to find the silver car in a sea of other silver cars at the shopping mall, that kind of thing

Take a picture

I do....it's a pain in the ass scrolling through my gallery every time I want to park my fecking car"

Is if really that difficult to remember rev3 plates? I remember the reg plates of my last 3 cars and none of them were personalised

I never said it wasn't a stupid reason, I just said it was a reason.

I don't have a private plate btw, I just have so little spare energy left in my life by the end of the day I'm not ever going to waste it judging people who have a private plate on their car and pondering on what their unique reason is for buying it.

No judgement from me either, just said having a private plate because some hypothetical person can't remember the cars original plate is a stupid reason.

Private, personalised number plates, are usually fun, either to read (if it's witty) or means something to the car owner.

No big deal really, each to their own.

I bought 4 around 15 years ago for £250 each , the one would sell for approx £2,000 now , and the other 1 approx £1,500 and 2 at approx £1,000

Not a bad return for when I decide to sell .

I like then when they match the car tbh.

For example a friend of my Dad’s had a 1953 MG TF 1250. It’s numberplate was 1250TF.

When I owned a Nissan 200SX I searched for “200SX”. Discovered it was on a Lambretta SX 200.

Down to a more sensible 3, with 2 on the road.

I like personalising everything I own. Screensavers/phone covers/ stamps on tools/controller stickers/punkd my guitar. A private reg is another way to add individualism to your property, sometimes another way to express yourself. I’d have a reg, if I had a pile of money to waste.

I was lucky for a time to drive a car with my initials, did I keep the reg? No, it would have cost money I couldn’t afford at the time.

Prívate reg doesn’t tell me anything....but if it’s on a BMW or Land Rover. that’s all I need to know to make a judgement.

Every vehicle I own has a private plate on it,they all start with the same letter and all have the same last three letters.I don't give a hoot what anyone thinks about them either,my fleet,my money,my choice.It does have the added bonus of making it much easier to keep track of servicing,mot dates,keys etc and if I take some to a show its clear they're all together

I quite like them, hubby doesn’t have one as our car is a piece of shit and isn’t worth it. When we get a good car, we’ll maybe get one.

My dad (strangely, although some may find this sweet) has ‘mother’ personalised on his license. He got it when his mum died seven years ago. They were really close and her awful husband got rid of her will (which she had finalised with my dad and auntie only months before her premature death) so he didn’t get much to remember her by.
