Number Plates Recognition Tougher Rules

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Home Secretary Theresa May has warned that the rules surrounding automatic number plates recognition are to be made more stringent. A move welcomed by campaigners who have argued for restrictions regarding the 4000 strong network of automatic number plates recognition cameras were long overdue.

The ANPR network logs in excess of 10 million vehicles car registration numbers every day. The cameras photograph the front of the vehicle and captures not only the DVLA number plates but also images of the driver and possibly passengers. The images are stored in a database containing 7.6 billion images.

The government are to consider limiting access to the database and will decide how long records should be stored for, currently records are held for two years.

Advertising on Number Plates

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

The cash strapped state of California is considering a plan to generate revenue from advertising on number plates, or as they say in America ‘License plates’. The proposal would allow rotational digital adverts to be displayed in the position of the number plate. Motorists would be able to select messages to broadcast from advertisers that have payed the state, with incentives going to the motorists.

The state senate have a £12.8 bn. budget deficit and are not surprisingly thinking outside of the box in ways to generate revenue. It is understood they are considering a bill to permit research into the advertising on number plates scheme. A California company has been developing the technology that would digitally display scrolling advertising content across a number plate when a vehicle was stopped at a traffic lights or in a traffic jam. When the vehicle was in transit the display would show the car registration numbers only.

Who knows if these type of number plates will ever see the light of day in California or elsewhere. I would be surprised to see such displays on dvla number plates anytime soon! Over recent years the DVLA have imposed strict rules over what can and can’t be displayed on DVLA number plates. In the United Kingdom, number plates can’t even have the web address of the supplier in place of their name .

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

For some people, the car is only half the story. DVLA number plates complete the look, and if the number plate on your car when you buy it doesn’t mean anything to you, you can soon swap it out for another one if you are prepared to buy it.

There are plenty of websites online that you can visit for more information about personalised DVLA number plates. Searching for these number plates online is also easier than trying to get hold of them in any other way. It is much easier to see exactly what is available.

Try looking for specific pieces of information – the first letter of the number plate for example, perhaps followed by a particular number and then three more letters. Depending on how specific you want to be you can either look for a plate that is very exact or which only has a few letters you really want.

For instance you might want to buy some DVLA number plates that end in the word ‘MOO’ if that happens to be your nickname. In this case you might be happy for the plate to start with any other combination of letters and numbers.

Whatever combination you start looking for, the results you get online could reveal it is no longer available. If this is the case, think about what else you could get instead. Many of these will be very similar to the DVLA number plates you were looking for originally, so bear this in mind.

In any event, with some perseverance you could soon have the plates you really wanted.
