RSSCar’s Number Plates
Number plates are not new to the automobile industry. The use of number plates kick-started in late 1600’s when automobiles required a license for hire. According to Hackney Carriage Act of 1861, the stagecoaches had to be correctly numbered using number plates.
In early 20th century, the automobiles started to appear on the roads of Britain with number plates. In 1903, the government introduced the Motor Car Act of 1903 according to which every car owner was required to display a car number plate. It was on 1st of January, 1904, when the government declared that every motor vehicle on British roads required a registration. Local council assigned their own code. Initially, single letters were used. This was replaced with double-letter combinations.
Old numbering system for vehicles began to decline with the gradual increase in the number of cars. The three letters and three numbers system was introduced in 1932 and after the Second World War, this was replaced with three numbers and then three letters number system. These number plates picked up popularity. The price range of these number plates then started ranging from hundreds to several thousand, depending upon the letter/number combination.
An entirely new number plate system was introduced in 1963 with the allocation of a letter for each plate. This letter denoted the year of registration. For instance, ‘A’ stands for the year of registration in the number plate DWS 165 A.
Personalized number plates with special numbers or car model numbers soon gained popularity.
