			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A private auction to sell a British number plate spelling out &#8220;Abu Dhabi&#8221; has kick-started a fierce bidding war between several &#8220;big names&#8221; from the UAE.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.image-reg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/1-x.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1489" title="personalised number plates as investments" src="http://www.image-reg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/1-x.gif" alt="personalised number plates as investments" width="199" height="44" /></a></p>
<p>The registration number, AB11 DHB, was originally bought for about £400 (Dh2,300) and could now possibly fetch more than Dh1.7 million, according to MIK Legal Consulting, the Dubai company handling the auction.</p>
<p>M I Khan, head of the company, said he was &#8220;not surprised&#8221; at how the sale was going. &#8220;Abu Dhabi motoring enthusiasts are the most passionate in the world,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He said the reserve price of £25,000 was crossed within a few hours.</p>
<p>He dispelled suggestions Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, the Minister of Presidential Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister, was among the seven bidders, saying only the bidders were &#8220;private enthusiasts&#8221; with &#8220;some big names involved&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is a little bit of speculation that two of the current bidders are trying to purchase this plate with the plan to gift it to his highness,&#8221; he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The rickshaws fitted with scooter engines used to move freight – may start having number plates, if this Government proposal were to be implemented.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.image-reg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/plates-number.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1445" title="personalised number plates" src="http://www.image-reg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/plates-number.gif" alt="personalised number plates" width="134" height="140" /></a></p>
<p>Jugaads are tricycles, usually fitted with scooter engines and cost about Rs 20,000.</p>
<p>They can handle up to 400 kg of weight and are used by the unorganised sector.</p>
<p>The Road Transport and Highways Ministry is considering such a move to improve safety for implementation during the 12th Five-Year Plan period.</p>
<h3>Registration</h3>
<p>There are many vehicles – including tractors for agricultural use – that ply on roads and are outside the ambit of registration.</p>
<p>Transport experts question the idea, though. “Prima facie, this could mean legalising something that is illegal,” says Mr S.P. Singh, Senior Fellow, at transport research body Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training (IFTRT).</p>
<p>There is no official data on the population of such vehicles in the country.</p>
<p>No action can be taken on such vehicles (jugaads) when they are involved in accidents as they do not have any number plates.</p>
<p>So, these vehicles could be brought under the registration regime and driving licences be issued to the drivers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Delhi government starts the new year on a dubious note &#8211; it has missed the December 31, 2011 deadline set by the  Supreme Court for implementation of the high-security registration plate (HSRP)  scheme. Last-minute decisions regarding the scheme had held up the  announcement for notification of the high security plates, said highly  placed sources in the government. A final decision will be taken in the  first week of January, added sources.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are several issues  which need to be sorted out before the notification can be announced.  This includes the engagement of a  sub-contractor by the agency which had been entrusted by the government to implement the scheme,&#8221; said a  senior government official.  Incidentally, the SC had recommended a single-vendor process for the  HSRP. The government had sent the proposal to the law department for a  way to save the project and a meeting would be held on Monday to discuss  the issue further, said sources.</p>
<p>&#8220;The court order is being  scrutinized by the law department. The single-vendor clause may prove to  be an obstacle as the present proposal is not along these lines,&#8221; added  the official.</p>
<p>The agency, DIMTS, hired for the project has hired a sub-contractor to  procure the high security registration plates, said officials.  &#8220;According to the current proposal, the plates will be procured by  DIMTS through another vendor though embossing will be done by the agency  itself,&#8221; the official said. DIMTS will also undertake to fit the plates  to the vehicles at the centers identified by the transport department.  Issues concerning demands by DIMTS for more infrastructure, is another  topic of contention.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing A Personalised Number Plate – Advice From The Experts at  Regplates.com.  Making it easy for UK buyers to secure their ideal  cherished numberplates.</p>
<p>Nothing can add more personality and fun to your car than a  personalised number plate. With a little imagination. With a cherished  number on a plate you can stand out from the crowd and find your car  easier in the car park.<br />
You have a lot of choices when buying or selling your cherished number  plates or private registration plates. regplates conduct all of their  transfers through the DVLA – or Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.<br />
By purchasing online you are able to access our database of available  plates and find out instantly if your cherished number is available. A  quick check of the regplates.com website reveals over 42 million  personalised registration plates available for purchase online.<br />
For a bit of added fun and excitement, regplates.com attends many  auctions throughout the year all over Great Britain, for personalised  registrations. The auction is the place to bid on some very distinctive  and collectible number and cherished plates. There is some confusion as  to the difference between cherished, private and personalised number  plates. The answer typically depends on who you talk to. Some say that a  cherished number plate is one which is dateless, while all others would  fall in to the private category. If a number plate is removed from a  vehicle, whether through a transfer, or to be put on a retention  document, then it becomes a private, cherished or personalised number  plate.<br />
Number plates have changed over time, dating back to 1901 with the  dateless plates. Later styles have included suffix number plates, prefix  number plates and the up to date system which runs from 1st September  2001 to 31st August 2013. The format is two letters, followed by the  date identifier, followed by a space, followed by three letters. Which  style of plate you prefer, and which one is right for your vehicle is a  choice only you can make. Whether you seek out a personalised number  plate, a cherished number plate or a private number plate is up to you.  There are no shortage of options on the replates.com website and you can  search for the number you desire, finding your ideal regplate can be  great fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Hundreds of number plates spelling out offensive words have been banned by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).</span></p>
<p><span>DVLA  officials have drawn up a blacklist of questionable registration  numbers, including PE12 VRT (pervert) and PA12 EDO (paedo).<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>Whilst  personalised number plates are entirely legal, the move follows the  annual DVLA Propriety Group meeting to veto offensive plates.</span></p>
<div>
<p><span>Motorists will also be unable to  refer to drugs or alcohol, with measures in place to prevent the issuing  of DR12 UGY (drugy), HE12 ON (heroin), DR12 UNK (drunk) and LE61 ESS  (legless) amongst others.</span></p>
<p><span>In  addition, there is a ban  in place on any religious references such as  LU61 FER (Lucifer) and Islamic holy book the Koran that could otherwise  be referred to as KO12 AAN.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>Also omitted are TE12 ROR (terror), MU12 DER (murderer), ST61 KER (stalker) amd MA12 TYR (martyr).</span></p>
<p><span>The tighter measures come in the wake of the DVLA&#8217;s recent clamp down that saw driver Alan Clarke, </span><span>from Chesterfield instructed to remove a plate from his vehicle, just six weeks after he had bought it.</span></p>
<p><span>Clarke had forked out £399 on the </span><span>&#8216;BO11 LUX&#8217;plate for his new Range Rover, but soon </span><span>received a stern letter from the DVLA telling him the </span><span>plate was &#8216;causing offence&#8217; and ordering him to remove it.</span></p>
<p><span>Responding  to Clarke&#8217;s case, a DVLA spokesman said: &#8216;Many people enjoy displaying a  personalised registration number and the vast majority of numbers are  made available, but we have a responsibility to ensure that the  combinations used do not cause offence.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>&#8216;DVLA  tries to identify combinations that may cause offence, and on the rare  occasion where potentially offensive numbers slip through the net, steps  are taken to withdraw the registration number.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>&#8216;This particular registration plate has been withdrawn, therefore it is an<br />
offence for the driver to still be displaying it. He would receive a refund for<br />
the plate.&#8217;</span></p>
