Never buy new usually 1-2 old and the reg number doesn't feature as a consideration when buying. The only person I know who consistency has a reg number from the same county is by father who buys a new car every 3 years, same dealer, same model, etc but he's old school. Is this really a thing?

As an aside I'd personally prefer if the green plate method of xxxx-D-202 was used because at least if you were knocked down or similar you would have the first few letters of the offender but as things stand you only get the year and county - we all read left to right

I know, sad nerds with nothing better to do with themselves can tell you that a pre-1987 car with a KI reg was from Waterford county, and one with EI was Sligo or whatever, but most people wouldn't have a clue.
