THE Government is to bring in a new licence-plate system next year amid fears that a '13' registration number would hit car sales.

Cars registered between January and the end of June will have a '131' registration. Those from July 1 to the end of the year will have '132' on the plate.

I feel the 6 month plate thing might help car sales in the 2nd half of the year as it differentiates them from the 6 month older stock.
Finding a book price will be fun mind.

Good to see they're tackling the major issues in the economy.

People need to cop the **** on :rolleyes:

and secondly - what if 13 is my lucky number :cool:, can I get a car with reg 13 if I wanted one

1) Plate 132D1234 still starts with 13!
2) Should rather introduce personalized plates, which would both boost revenue and solve 13D problem without altering the standard sequencing.
3) How come superstition can change rules so quickly, when more important issues are taking years to solve.
