What are
personal number plates
all about?
The first
personal number plates
system in the world began in Baden, Germany in 1896. Great Britain introduced
compulsory
personal number plates
on 1st January 1904. A system had to be thought up to make the growing number
of car drivers accountable for their vehicles and their actions on the roads.
One of the ideas considered was to give a
personal number plates
to each car – like ships. Fortunately this wasn’t used! And the
personal number plates
was born.

Vehicle has had Private or Cherished Number Plates - A change of number plates could be completely innocent. Or it could be an attempt to conceal a vehicle's dubious history. A vehicle might read all clear under its new registration although it was, perhaps, written-off under its previous plates. For this reason, you need to be sure you have checked a car's history under ALL its number plates - right back to the date of first registration. A check can provide you with that information.
