Over the past few years there has been a huge increase in cherished number plate sales. Vehicle owners have discovered that unique cherished registrations displayed on their treasured cars are a great finishing touch. It is great news for the government that number plate sales are going up as it means millions of pounds worth of extra revenue for the Treasury every year.
Cherished number plates or personalised registrations, whichever you prefer to call them, are a small additional cost when compared to the price of a brand new car or motorbike. Many motorists use cherished number plates to show off or to make a statement. They are often viewed as a medium for sending out a personal message to the rest of the general public.
The police have started to take the issue of correctly displaying your number plates very seriously. This is partly due to increased use of automatic number plate reading (ANPR) cameras. It is a good idea to spend some time reading up on registration transfers and the correct display of number plates. If your number plates do not conform to the law you may be fined and receive points on your licence.
Choosing precisely what you want to display on your own number plate can be a tricky task. You are limited in your choice of numbers and letters and you are also restricted in the way those characters should be displayed. You must also take into consideration the probability that somebody else may have already had the same idea as you and bought the combination that you wanted.
So what is it that you want your cherished number plates to say? Is it your initials or the make of your car? Maybe you want to broadcast your profession or hobby. Do you want to show your passion for supporting a certain football or rugby team?
If you are stuck for ideas you could consult one of the many cherished number plate dealers for some specialist industry help. Obviously bear in mind that a cherished numbers dealer is likely to encourage you in the direction of one of their own stock registrations. You could get a few tips and then in your own time consider all of the options given to you.
Don't hesitate in securing your cherished registration once you have made up your mind which one you are going for. Cherished number plates are unique; there is only one of each combination. It would be very disappointing to have spent so much time deciding exactly which registration you wanted, only to find that it had been snapped up by somebody else!
