The car number plate system in the UK was completely revised


Saturday 1st September 2001

The car number plate system in the UK was completely revised. Each registration index consisted of seven characters with a defined format (eg FL51 XSD). From left to right, the characters consist of a two-letter area code and a two-digit age identifier, which changes twice a year. In the first half of the year the last two digits of the year are used and in the second half of the year a ‘5’ takes the place of the first of the two digits. The remaining characters comprise three random letters.
