Your Car registration number?

[kburra]

When asked only about 4 or 5 of my friends know their Car Rego number (Number Plate) off the top of their head ....And You?

We take pics of the Plates and Vin # and have them on our phone.

 

[Keesha]

Yes I know my car plate number , social insurance, Ohip number, and any other important numbers.

 

[C'est Moi]

Yes, I know my license numbers. (3 vehicles)

 

[Aunt Bea]

Nope!

I'm lucky that I remember what color it is.

 

[Mister E]

I can remember quite a few of the reg. no.s from various cars throughout my past , and i know my drivers license number off by heart ( don't ask why , I just do )

 

[Buckeye]

3 letters followed by 4 numbers. Or is it the other way around? Why would I remember? Why would I care?

 

[Ruthanne]

I never memorized my registration, or license plate..I only knew the first 3 letters. That was When I had a car.

 

[Warrigal]

Hubby's initials followed by triple 1. Had the same plates since the millennium began.

 

[terry123]

Yes I do.

 

[Pam]

Haven't had a car for a long time now so doesn't really apply to me but I can still remember the registration of the first car I ever owned back in 1968, my little white Fiat 500.

Of course, both cars, make, year, colour, mileage (approx) and license plate. What if they were stolen? Can you imagine the embarrassment of saying you don't know, I would.

 

[Judycat]

No. That info is available elsewhere if I need it. The only thing I can say is if I am getting another vehicle confused with mine I do recognize my own license plate. Memorize the details though? No.

I'm not good with numbers (hideously poor, in fact). But my 15 year old car sports US bicentennial plates - I've repainted and varnished them and have a thick wad of stickers built up. If anyone is silly enough to steal it, it shouldn't be hard to find (-:

 

[Aneeda72]

Nope

Very cool ! That’s a great photo.

 

[treeguy64]

Know my plates, and my license numbers. VIN? Get outta town!

 

[Camper6]

Take a picture and take a picture of the VIN number just below the windshield on the.drivers side. For insurance purposes.

 

[Gaer]

Heck! I don't even know my licence number! But Camper 6 brought this to my attention. I WILL photograph the VIN number.

Have no clue of the plates on 2 vehicles..I don't even know my wife's phone number!!! It is in my contacts,,,,I have all my phone numbers on a piece of paper in my wallet..

My ex had a Fiat. You've found the exact same use for it as we did...something to lean against.

I used to recall those random tag numbers with my first few cars.

I currently have a truck with the state-issued plate. Had it since 2005. I could not tell you a single letter or number on it with any degree of certainty.

I bought a new car last year. I just got a personalized tag for it, so of course I know that.

 

[MarciKS]

I know my plate number but not the VIN.

Mine's easy to remember. 5 numbers which my dad first had back in the early 30's. He had that plate up until he passed in '65. Our state allows plates to be passed down to immediate family (if they want them). I've had it ever since then and will pass it along in a few years when I no longer register a car.

That's pretty cool.

I started driving in 1970. For the longest time, Virginia issued new physical plates every year because they stamped the year on the metal plate, just as the tag# is stamped. At some point they went to a decal system for the Month and the Year of expiration. The older ones are collector's items here, for art display purposes only.

How were plates in your state back then reused from year-to-year? Did they not put the expiry date on them?
