Put your driving IQ to the test: Can you spot the two matching number plates in this disorientating image?

Are you a keen-eyed driver with a knack for spotting details? If so, this challenge is for you!

In this image provided by transportation service Hoppa, a sea of number plates awaits your scrutiny. The sheer number of plates, combined with their identical color, can be quite disorienting, making it a test of both visual acuity and pattern recognition.

Your task is to identify the two matching number plates hidden within this chaotic jumble. If you can successfully locate the duplicates, congratulations! You've demonstrated a keen eye for detail and a remarkable ability to process visual information.

However, if you can identify the matching plates in under seven seconds, your driving IQ truly reaches the next level. This level of speed and accuracy is indicative of a mind that can quickly process information and make split-second decisions – essential skills for any driver.

If you're finding the task challenging, don't fret. Here's a hint: focus on the overall patterns and shapes formed by the number plates. Look for similarities in color, spacing, and font style.

For those seeking further challenges, Hoppa also offers two other brain teasers. Can you spot all 28 petrol-head film references in six minutes or less? This visual puzzle requires a deep knowledge of car movies and their iconic vehicles.

Or, test your mathematical aptitude by trying to identify the hidden numbers within the brain teaser. Those who can spot the numbers quickly possess an exceptionally sharp mind.

These challenges are designed to push your cognitive abilities and provide a fun way to engage your mind. So, grab a pencil, take a deep breath, and get ready to put your driving IQ, movie knowledge, and mathematical skills to the test!

So what are the top selling number plates in the UK? The DVLA has been selling private plates to UK motorists since 1989. During this time, there have been a number of records set, but most of the top 10 have been bought in the past 15 years. Here’s what currently makes the list:

25 0 – A Ferrari dealer bought this for £518k in 2014. It is now on a £10 million Ferrari 250 SWB.
F 1 – A businessman, Afzal Khan, bought this for £440k in 2008 and put it on his McLaren-Mercedes SLR.
S 1 – This was bought in 2008 for £404k by an anonymous buyer.
1 D – Businessman Nabil Bishara bought this plate in 2009 (before One Direction was formed, so it is not a reference to the band) for £352k.
M 1 – Businessman Mike McCoomb bought this number plate in 2006 for £331k, apparently for his son, who was 10 at the time.
VIP 1 – Chelsea owner and businessman Roman Abramovich bought this plate for £285k in 2006.
51 NGH – This number plate, which looks like the surname Singh, was sold in 2006 for £254k.
1 RH – Businessman Robert Haverson bought this in 2006 for £247k.
K1 NGS – This reg plate, which looks like the word “kings”, was bought anonymously in 1993 for £231k.
1 0 – This very simple but striking number plate was bought anonymously in 2009 for £170k.

These are large amounts of money, but they are all small compared to the top-selling number plates found in other parts of the world. Abu Dhabi, in the UAE, has the record for the most expensive number plate ever sold. That number plate was a simple “1”. It was bought in 2008 by businessman Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri for £7.25 million.
