The First Number Plate Ever Issued A1 assigned in 1903 |
|---|
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.

Fake number plates top the list of the many challenges the government and traffic police are going to face in implementing its clean-up plan for the Capital. According to norms, a number plate can be procured only from an authorised dealer and after producing the RC of the vehicle and other related documents.
However, when DNA accessed the black market, the reality seemed different. Shops providing fake registration number plates not only put on display a number of designs and styles but also did not bother to ask for document or ID proof.
"We have number plates starting from Rs 250 and the costliest is Rs 3,500. While the cheapest one has sticker digits, styles vary from stylish embossed fonts to illuminated digits with custom-made logos," said a dealer who owns a shop in Noida's sector 16 car market.
Another dealer, who has a shop in Connaught Place, says that a simple number plate would cost Rs 800 while a legal one with holograms can only be made after the customer provides transport authority's approval. "Last year, during the scheme, demand for fake number plates was high, the same is expected this year," he said.
When asked about the flourishing hidden business of fake registration number plates — which can lead to a severe national security threat — a senior traffic police officer said, "The only way this market can be curbed is to conduct raids on such shops and take legal action."
Price range
Rs 250 to 500 with sticker digits, simple, non-styled
Rs 500 to 1000 embossed stylish digits, custom made designs, change of language
Rs 1200 to 3500 number plates with fancy lights, golden silver design, change of fonts

Shops at Connaught Place, Kashmere Gate, Karol Bagh and NCR provide fake number plates

THERE are a number of mistakes that can be made on personalised number plates that could see drivers land a £1,000 and also fail their MOT. Here is what they are and how to avoid them.
Illegal number plates could see thousands of Brits face fines and even make them fail their MOT.
Certain personalised number plates have the potential to be costly errors for drivers.
While a personalised number plate can be, to some people, a nice form of expression, they could also be costly.
According to the company, however, 15,000 drivers across the UK have been fined for having an illegal plates over the past three years.
The worst offenders come from London with 3,058 offences clocked while North Wales and Norfolk also totted up over 1,100 each.
This includes plates that did not conform to regulations, cars without a front or back plate or ones with indistinguishable/obscured plates.
It is a legal requirement for a car’s numberplate to be clear and legible and failure to meet these criteria can result in £1,000 fine, loss of the personal registration number and/or a failed MOT.
There are other modifications that drivers can also be penalised for.
These include using the wrong colours for the lettering or for the background of the plates.
Number plates should have black characters on a white background at the front of the car and on a yellow background on the back of the car.
Spacing is also crucial and drivers should ensure that the characters on their plate are correctly spaced.
Non-confirming backgrounds or stickers that could interfere with the legibility of a plate are also factors that carry a fine risk.
The standard font used on all number plates is ‘Charles Wright’ and it is the only one deemed acceptable for motorists to have.
Similarly, the flag on the left hand side of the plate must also be correct.
Acceptable flags include: The EU flag, The Union Jack, The St George Cross, The Scottish Saltire (St Andrew Cross) and The Red Dragon of Wales.
Relevant letters accompanying these flags must be also:
GREAT BRITAIN, Great Britain or GB
UNITED KINGDOM, United Kingdom or UK
ENGLAND, England, ENG, Eng
SCOTLAND, Scotland, SCO or Sco
CYMRU, Cymru, CYM or Cym
WALES or Wales
Failure to comply could also land drivers with a fine and/or MOT failure.
The staff of state Sen. Andy Dinniman’s office recently presented him with a historic Pennsylvania Senate license plate from 1933 as a holiday gift.
The plate, which features the number “19S,” dates back to the time when Chester County’s 19th Senatorial District was represented by the late state Sen. William Hannum Clark, who served from 1927 to 1935.
Clark, born at Doe Run in 1877, attended public schools in West Marlboro Township and the Maple Grove Institute in Delaware County before graduating from Coatesville High School. According to Senate records, he pursued the bonding business and served as superintendent of Chester County Highways, automobile inspector, and register of wills before being elected to the state Senate on Nov. 2, 1926.
Clark, who succeeded T. Lawrence Eyre, served five terms from 1927 to 1935 (at that time Pennsylvania state senators served two-year terms).
“While we may know little about state Sen. Clark, he certainly does seem to have had an interest in cars, as county superintendent of highways and automobile inspector,” said Dinniman, D-19. “I thought this was a really neat, unique, and thoughtful gift and want to thank my staff.
“When you have the opportunity and privilege to serve in public office, you join part of a long line of individuals and leaders who stood for and represented the values of your region. This really helps put that into perspective,” he added.
Dinniman said his staff came across the historic license plate in an online auction after being alerted to it by his Chester County colleague, state Rep. John Lawrence, R-13, who has an interest in historic automobiles.
Dinniman, a historian, history buff, and professor by trade, serves on the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, is known for his interest in local history and preserving local artifacts associated with his office. The building that houses his office, located at One North Church Street in historic downtown West Chester, has been home to various businesses since the early 1800s. From 1914 to 1947, it was a candy store and confectionary, Marakos Candy Kitchen, and Dinniman has preserved a clock and menu from the store that remains on display.

The most expensive ever was recorded in November 2014 when "25 O" sold to a Ferrari dealer for £518,000.
And the popular "O" series featured twice in 2017's top list with "45 O" and "96 O" both going under the hammer for over £50,000 - one now residing on a white Audi.
But top of the tree in 2017 was "JSK 1", sold for £56,200 at the Cheltenham Chase Hotel auction back in May, and now living on a black Mercedes.
The "812 S" plate sold for £45,500 - most likely to a Ferrari collector or dealer looking to twin it up with the 812 Superfast model launched last year.
"1 HSV" was the fifth priciest plate of 2017 with DVLA records showing it's yet to be registered with a motor.
Plates are sold at auction to buyers looking to add a personal touch to their beloved motors or to plate dealers and investors who stock up on popular registrations.

Parking firms are buying details of more than 19,000 vehicles a day from the DVLA to chase unpaid fines.
Last night MPs warned that ‘bully boy’ firms are using the information to hound innocent motorists.
They called for a crackdown to protect drivers as it was revealed that the trade in information has reached record levels.
Between April and June the DVLA sold 1.74million vehicle keeper records, up from 1.06million in the same period last year. The DVLA, which sells the information for £2.50 a vehicle, is generating almost £1.5million a month.
The information is used by parking companies to chase drivers for fines of up to £100.
The most prolific of these is ParkingEye, owned by outsourcing firm Capita – which was exposed by the Daily Mail for using ruthless tactics to collect TV licence fees for the BBC.
It obtained 570,000 vehicle records in the three-month period, followed by Smart Parking with 125,000 and Euro Car Parks with 118,000.
The RAC Foundation said the industry is out of control, with the data suggesting a parking fine is issued every four and half seconds. It warned that the details of around seven million vehicles could be sold during the financial year, which would suggest that almost a quarter of motorists are being chased for a parking fine.
MPs are worried that the information is being widely misused, with motorists unfairly targeted while visiting hospitals and high street shops. Drivers have complained about being fined up to £100 for returning their cars a few minutes late, or after being unable to buy a ticket because of a faulty ticket machine.
Tory MP Sir Greg Knight said there appears to be a worrying rise in a practice known as ‘ghost ticketing’.
This is when a warden puts a ticket on a car and takes a photo. The warden then removes the ticket so the driver is unaware they were given one.
The firm waits 14 days, then hits the driver with an increased fine of up to £100 because they have not paid.
Sir Greg, who has tabled a private members’ Bill in the Commons to crack down on the self-regulated parking industry, said: ‘These figures are concerning. It is highly unlikely there has been a massive increase in bad parking.
‘Instead bully-boy parking firms are hounding innocent motorists and milking them for money. We need to put rogue firms out of business. There are many private parking companies who are playing fair. But others are clearly making a killing out of pursuing and persecuting motorists who have done nothing wrong.’
Fellow Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg said: ‘My concern is that some of these firms use the fines they levy as part of their business model.
‘This gives them a strong incentive to levy fines unjustly and aggressively. We would not need a new law if DVLA was more willing to strike off companies suspected of behaving badly.’
A ParkingEye spokesman said: ‘We operate with clear, standard and proportionate procedures which follow the British Parking Association’s code of practice. We encourage people who have received a parking charge to appeal if they think they should not have received a charge.’
Most motorists are well aware that if you are driving behind a Tesla, it will never need to turn off to fill up with diesel or petrol.
But the owner of this brand new Model S has gone the extra mile to drive that message home.
They were spotted cruising through the centre of Manchester in the blue sports car while displaying the personalised number plate NO 67 GAS.
Commuters on Oxford Street saw the distinctive car with its personalised eco message during the morning rush hour.
Tesla cars are fully electric powered so owners can hit the road without paying for any petrol or diesel for as long as the batteries are charged.
Other than the lack of engine noise - and exhaust pipe - the cars can look much like any other fossil-fuelled prestige saloon on the road.
The owner of this Model S - which starts at just over £56,000 - is likely to have spent an extra few hundred pounds to make sure their Tesla stands out.
Other Tesla owners around the world have included coded messages in their registration plates including one in Sweden which read 'OIL LOL' another in France saying 'SHHHHH' and an Australian Tesla with the plate 'BYEOIL'.
The number 67 in the plate seen in Manchester indicates that the car has been registered within the last eight weeks.
Number plates beginning with the letters 'NO' are usually registered in the Newcastle area but motorists elsewhere in the UK can buy distinctive plates such as this direct from the DVLA.
Trevor Case, sales expert at regtransfers.co.uk said the plate would probably have been put up for sale by the DVLA for around £485.
"We do see more demand for personalised plates from owners of prestige cars like the Tesla", said Mr Case.
"They have spent a lot on the car so are happy to spend a bit more to make a statement with the registration plate."
As well as saving on fuel costs, drivers of a Tesla car can benefit from other exemptions such as the London congestion charge.
But under reforms introduced this April, new electric cars with a list price of over £40,000 are no longer fully exempt from vehicle duty - Tesla owners with a 67 reg car will pay no duty for the first year and then £310 for the next five years.
DVLA records show that the number plate NO 67 TAX is still available for registration.
The Department of Transport Management today started distribution of embossed number plates for vehicles on the basis of provincial structure.
Publishing a notice today, DoTM announced it had started accepting online registration for new embossed number plates for vehicles.
The government has begun the process of distributing embossed number plates for vehicles on the basis of provincial structure as per the directive of the erstwhile development committee of the Parliament. The committee had directed the government to do away with the zonal format while issuing embossed number plates.
The committee had reasoned that since the country had already adopted provincial and federal system of governance, embossed number plates in zonal format didn’t make any sense.
“Following the parliamentary committee’s directive, we started accepting applications for embossed number plates under the provincial format today,” said Tok Raj Pandey, spokesperson for DoTM.
Under the new format, vehicles will be issued embossed number plates based on the province they are registered in.
DoTM had begun installing embossed number plates on vehicles belonging to the government and diplomatic agencies on August 20. Following the parliamentary committee’s directive DoTM had to defer its plan to install embossed number plates on private vehicles.
Pandey said the department today opened embossed number plate system for private vehicles. With this, vehicles belonging to the government and diplomatic agencies, as well as private vehicles, can apply for new embossed number plates.
According to DoTM, embossed number plates for motorbikes will cost Rs 2,500, three-wheelers Rs 2,900, light four-wheelers and tractors Rs 3,200, and heavy vehicles Rs 3,600.
To get new embossed number plates, vehicle owners are required to deposit the aforementioned amount at Rastriya Banijya Bank and complete the online registration. After filling online form, customers are required to print the form and submit various documents sought in the form, along with the bank voucher, at the DoTM office. DoTM will then notify the customer via SMS regarding the acceptance of the form and will also notify customers once the embossed number plate of their vehicle is ready.
Customers are then required to get the embossed number plates installed on their vehicles at the Small and Big Vehicle Division of Bagmati Transport Management Office in Ekantakuna.
The embossed number plating system for vehicles is expected to help the government track vehicles, control vehicle thefts and check use of the vehicle in criminal activities.

Bring your property down, with your drivers licence and that number will be engraved on the item.
This helps to prevent theft and also greatly assists police to find owners if property does get stolen or lost.
If you are buying the plates separately then you'll need to go to a registered number plate supplier to get new number plates for your vehicle. The registered supplier will need proof of your identity, as well as proof that the registration number belongs to you. The number plate supplier will need to see at least one document from each of the lists below. This will allow the number plate supplier to confirm your name, address and entitlement to the registration number. All documents must be original, not copies.

By 1982, the year suffixes had reached Y and so from 1983 onwards the sequence was reversed again, so that the year letter - starting again at A" - preceded the numbers then the letters of the registration. The available range was then A21 AAA to Y999 YYY, the numbers 1-20 being held back for the government's proposed, and later implemented, DVLA select registration sales scheme. Towards the mid-1990s there was some discussion about introducing a unified scheme for Europe, which would also incorporate the country code of origin of the vehicle, but after much debate such a scheme was not adopted due to lack of countries willing to participate. The changes in 1983 also brought the letter Q into use - although on a very small and limited scale. It was used on vehicles of indeterminate age, such as those assembled from kits, substantial rebuilds, or imported vehicles where the documentation is insufficient to determine the age. There was a marked increase in the use of Q registrations

Because his license plate is APRIST - short for apiarist, a fancy word for beekeeper.
Lots of people don't get it, because it's not a very common word," said Clark, who keeps honeybees in the backyard of his Old Louisville home. "Every once in a while, somebody sees is and asks me about beekeeping and honey. But the whole point of a vanity plate is to create a word which is just like the real words but is itself a puzzle, so when you're driving down the road, it's 'Oh, yeah, I got it!'""

The worst offenders come from London with 3,058 offences clocked while North Wales and Norfolk also totted up over 1,100 each.
This includes plates that did not conform to regulations, cars without a front or back plate or ones with indistinguishable/obscured plates.
It is a legal requirement for a car’s numberplate to be clear and legible and failure to meet these criteria can result in £1,000 fine, loss of the personal registration number and/or a failed MOT.
There are other modifications that drivers can also be penalised for.
These include using the wrong colours for the lettering or for the background of the plates.
Number plates should have black characters on a white background at the front of the car and on a yellow background on the back of the car.
Spacing is also crucial and drivers should ensure that the characters on their plate are correctly spaced.
Non-confirming backgrounds or stickers that could interfere with the legibility of a plate are also factors that carry a fine risk.
The standard font used on all number plates is ‘Charles Wright’ and it is the only one deemed acceptable for motorists to have.
Similarly, the flag on the left hand side of the plate must also be correct.
Acceptable flags include: The EU flag, The Union Jack, The St George Cross, The Scottish Saltire (St Andrew Cross) and The Red Dragon of Wales.
Relevant letters accompanying these flags must be also:
GREAT BRITAIN, Great Britain or GB
UNITED KINGDOM, United Kingdom or UK
ENGLAND, England, ENG, Eng
SCOTLAND, Scotland, SCO or Sco
CYMRU, Cymru, CYM or Cym
WALES or Wales
Failure to comply could also land drivers with a fine and/or MOT failure.
The staff of state Sen. Andy Dinniman’s office recently presented him with a historic Pennsylvania Senate license plate from 1933 as a holiday gift.
The plate, which features the number “19S,” dates back to the time when Chester County’s 19th Senatorial District was represented by the late state Sen. William Hannum Clark, who served from 1927 to 1935.
Clark, born at Doe Run in 1877, attended public schools in West Marlboro Township and the Maple Grove Institute in Delaware County before graduating from Coatesville High School. According to Senate records, he pursued the bonding business and served as superintendent of Chester County Highways, automobile inspector, and register of wills before being elected to the state Senate on Nov. 2, 1926.
Clark, who succeeded T. Lawrence Eyre, served five terms from 1927 to 1935 (at that time Pennsylvania state senators served two-year terms).
“While we may know little about state Sen. Clark, he certainly does seem to have had an interest in cars, as county superintendent of highways and automobile inspector,” said Dinniman, D-19. “I thought this was a really neat, unique, and thoughtful gift and want to thank my staff.
“When you have the opportunity and privilege to serve in public office, you join part of a long line of individuals and leaders who stood for and represented the values of your region. This really helps put that into perspective,” he added.
Dinniman said his staff came across the historic license plate in an online auction after being alerted to it by his Chester County colleague, state Rep. John Lawrence, R-13, who has an interest in historic automobiles.
Dinniman, a historian, history buff, and professor by trade, serves on the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, is known for his interest in local history and preserving local artifacts associated with his office. The building that houses his office, located at One North Church Street in historic downtown West Chester, has been home to various businesses since the early 1800s. From 1914 to 1947, it was a candy store and confectionary, Marakos Candy Kitchen, and Dinniman has preserved a clock and menu from the store that remains on display.
BRITS splashed the cash on private plates last year to the tune of £111million.
Personalised registrations spelling out names, initials, comedy phrases and car models all proved popular.
And the top five priciest plates netted almost £250,000 between them for the DVLA at auction.
The lucrative sales have generated over £2billion in the last 25 years for the agency.
The most expensive ever was recorded in November 2014 when "25 O" sold to a Ferrari dealer for £518,000.
And the popular "O" series featured twice in 2017's top list with "45 O" and "96 O" both going under the hammer for over £50,000 - one now residing on a white Audi.
But top of the tree in 2017 was "JSK 1", sold for £56,200 at the Cheltenham Chase Hotel auction back in May, and now living on a black Mercedes.
The "812 S" plate sold for £45,500 - most likely to a Ferrari collector or dealer looking to twin it up with the 812 Superfast model launched last year.
"1 HSV" was the fifth priciest plate of 2017 with DVLA records showing it's yet to be registered with a motor.
Plates are sold at auction to buyers looking to add a personal touch to their beloved motors or to plate dealers and investors who stock up on popular registrations.
Acrylic Number Plates
Acrylic number plates sigify the registration mark of a vehicle.
They can be made of different materials, but more commonly seen are metals and acrylics. But as to how the standard specifications on the use, make and display guidelines of number plates are, it would vary with every city and country. There are some who would prefer to have their number plates more personalized. As long as how it is obtained abides with the regulations, such is possible. In fact, motorists of today are starting to appreciate better the value of vanity plates.
Parking firms are buying details of more than 19,000 vehicles a day from the DVLA to chase unpaid fines.
Last night MPs warned that ‘bully boy’ firms are using the information to hound innocent motorists.
They called for a crackdown to protect drivers as it was revealed that the trade in information has reached record levels.
Between April and June the DVLA sold 1.74million vehicle keeper records, up from 1.06million in the same period last year. The DVLA, which sells the information for £2.50 a vehicle, is generating almost £1.5million a month.
The information is used by parking companies to chase drivers for fines of up to £100.
The most prolific of these is ParkingEye, owned by outsourcing firm Capita – which was exposed by the Daily Mail for using ruthless tactics to collect TV licence fees for the BBC.
It obtained 570,000 vehicle records in the three-month period, followed by Smart Parking with 125,000 and Euro Car Parks with 118,000.
The RAC Foundation said the industry is out of control, with the data suggesting a parking fine is issued every four and half seconds. It warned that the details of around seven million vehicles could be sold during the financial year, which would suggest that almost a quarter of motorists are being chased for a parking fine.
MPs are worried that the information is being widely misused, with motorists unfairly targeted while visiting hospitals and high street shops. Drivers have complained about being fined up to £100 for returning their cars a few minutes late, or after being unable to buy a ticket because of a faulty ticket machine.
Tory MP Sir Greg Knight said there appears to be a worrying rise in a practice known as ‘ghost ticketing’.
This is when a warden puts a ticket on a car and takes a photo. The warden then removes the ticket so the driver is unaware they were given one.
The firm waits 14 days, then hits the driver with an increased fine of up to £100 because they have not paid.
Sir Greg, who has tabled a private members’ Bill in the Commons to crack down on the self-regulated parking industry, said: ‘These figures are concerning. It is highly unlikely there has been a massive increase in bad parking.
‘Instead bully-boy parking firms are hounding innocent motorists and milking them for money. We need to put rogue firms out of business. There are many private parking companies who are playing fair. But others are clearly making a killing out of pursuing and persecuting motorists who have done nothing wrong.’
Fellow Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg said: ‘My concern is that some of these firms use the fines they levy as part of their business model.
‘This gives them a strong incentive to levy fines unjustly and aggressively. We would not need a new law if DVLA was more willing to strike off companies suspected of behaving badly.’
A ParkingEye spokesman said: ‘We operate with clear, standard and proportionate procedures which follow the British Parking Association’s code of practice. We encourage people who have received a parking charge to appeal if they think they should not have received a charge.’

Most motorists are well aware that if you are driving behind a Tesla, it will never need to turn off to fill up with diesel or petrol.
But the owner of this brand new Model S has gone the extra mile to drive that message home.
They were spotted cruising through the centre of Manchester in the blue sports car while displaying the personalised number plate NO 67 GAS.
Commuters on Oxford Street saw the distinctive car with its personalised eco message during the morning rush hour.
Tesla cars are fully electric powered so owners can hit the road without paying for any petrol or diesel for as long as the batteries are charged.
Other than the lack of engine noise - and exhaust pipe - the cars can look much like any other fossil-fuelled prestige saloon on the road.
The owner of this Model S - which starts at just over £56,000 - is likely to have spent an extra few hundred pounds to make sure their Tesla stands out.
Other Tesla owners around the world have included coded messages in their registration plates including one in Sweden which read 'OIL LOL' another in France saying 'SHHHHH' and an Australian Tesla with the plate 'BYEOIL'.
The number 67 in the plate seen in Manchester indicates that the car has been registered within the last eight weeks.
Number plates beginning with the letters 'NO' are usually registered in the Newcastle area but motorists elsewhere in the UK can buy distinctive plates such as this direct from the DVLA.
Trevor Case, sales expert at regtransfers.co.uk said the plate would probably have been put up for sale by the DVLA for around £485.
"We do see more demand for personalised plates from owners of prestige cars like the Tesla", said Mr Case.
"They have spent a lot on the car so are happy to spend a bit more to make a statement with the registration plate."
As well as saving on fuel costs, drivers of a Tesla car can benefit from other exemptions such as the London congestion charge.
But under reforms introduced this April, new electric cars with a list price of over £40,000 are no longer fully exempt from vehicle duty - Tesla owners with a 67 reg car will pay no duty for the first year and then £310 for the next five years.
DVLA records show that the number plate NO 67 TAX is still available for registration.
The Department of Transport Management today started distribution of embossed number plates for vehicles on the basis of provincial structure.
Publishing a notice today, DoTM announced it had started accepting online registration for new embossed number plates for vehicles.
The government has begun the process of distributing embossed number plates for vehicles on the basis of provincial structure as per the directive of the erstwhile development committee of the Parliament. The committee had directed the government to do away with the zonal format while issuing embossed number plates.
The committee had reasoned that since the country had already adopted provincial and federal system of governance, embossed number plates in zonal format didn’t make any sense.
“Following the parliamentary committee’s directive, we started accepting applications for embossed number plates under the provincial format today,” said Tok Raj Pandey, spokesperson for DoTM.
Under the new format, vehicles will be issued embossed number plates based on the province they are registered in.
DoTM had begun installing embossed number plates on vehicles belonging to the government and diplomatic agencies on August 20. Following the parliamentary committee’s directive DoTM had to defer its plan to install embossed number plates on private vehicles.
Pandey said the department today opened embossed number plate system for private vehicles. With this, vehicles belonging to the government and diplomatic agencies, as well as private vehicles, can apply for new embossed number plates.
According to DoTM, embossed number plates for motorbikes will cost Rs 2,500, three-wheelers Rs 2,900, light four-wheelers and tractors Rs 3,200, and heavy vehicles Rs 3,600.
To get new embossed number plates, vehicle owners are required to deposit the aforementioned amount at Rastriya Banijya Bank and complete the online registration. After filling online form, customers are required to print the form and submit various documents sought in the form, along with the bank voucher, at the DoTM office. DoTM will then notify the customer via SMS regarding the acceptance of the form and will also notify customers once the embossed number plate of their vehicle is ready.
Customers are then required to get the embossed number plates installed on their vehicles at the Small and Big Vehicle Division of Bagmati Transport Management Office in Ekantakuna.
The embossed number plating system for vehicles is expected to help the government track vehicles, control vehicle thefts and check use of the vehicle in criminal activities.
