Personalised Number Plate Queue System Announced

The Traffic department has introduced a queue system through the Metrash service to check the clamour for new personalised number plates especially among Qataris, a report in the local Arabic daily Arrayah said.
The overwhelming demand for the new number plates had caused a near pandemonium situation. In order to control it the department has made it obligatory for the person who renews the vehicle’s road permit to wait for an SMS through the Metrash service on his mobile phone indicating the date and time for him to have his number plate changed at the department’s workshop.
The new number plate is a uniform design mutually agreed upon by all the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries and has been modelled on the personalised number plates used in European countries.
The previous personalised number plate caused confusion for the radars while reading the numerals, especially when there is a zero in the end.
