Question

What will happen to the uk car registrations after 2010? will we get 51 plates again?

Answer 1

Hey I found this on another question. I don't take credit for this:

"Heckenhocker is correct... currently plates are:

2008: Mar - Aug 08 / Sep - Feb 58

2009: 09/59

2010: 10/60

2011: 11/61

2012: 12/62.......

2020: 20/70

2021: 21/71

2030: 30/80

2031: 31/81

2040: 40/90

2041: 41/91

As you can see, a new system will be required by 2050 as the current system was introduced in September 2001 and 51 plate has already been used.

The entire number plate is as follows:

First two letters denote registration office (e.g DA to DL = Chester. DM - DZ = Shrewsbury)

two numbers denote year (and 6 month period)

last three letters are random and are required to make the plate unique. Thus DY56ZTY is a car registered in the Shrewsbury area between September 2006 and February 2007."
