Just thought you may be interested in this one.

Dead Link.

Coming? Do you mean the ones with the barcode and the hologram?

If so, theyre out already, had one this month.

I'm just going on information available to me at this time.

Oh that's a bother, i just bought one today .

It must depend where you tax your car. I taxed one at a local VRO and got the "new" style (very colourful, barcode & holograms) and today i taxed a car at the local post office and got the old style.

And discs to prove you're insured, like what the French have???

Oh no, forgot, the government don't get a lot of money from that, so they're not interested in enforcing it:(:
Alcazar

Will i still be able to photocopy them?

BuRR - that was using the Scoobynet date system. They've actually been on sale since the 10th of January, if you edit your request enough times.

:D

You mean these...

Alcazar

;)

Mikey :cool:

Tough Alcazar you'll have to go and buy your own !!!

:D

Ooooooooooo it's got to be worth the money now!

(NOT)

cool, another registration number to clone for the next stolen Impreza. ;)

y u thinking of going out and nicking one then.....

I must need glasses, i cant even read the effin reg number :eek:

This is already monitored by the government (MOTOR INSURANCE DATABASE) or MID

And soon MOT's will be databased, so one check of your reg number and they old bill will know if you have TAX, INSURANCE AND MOT.

And you know what'll be next....

Cameras that take a pic of reg numbers and send out fines/summons to those without any or all of the above, all automatically!!!

*rse. I was hoping they'd make them a different size so all those who've bought those silly aluminium holders would have to chuck them away... ;)

Never mind greasy, you'll have to put something else on your christmas wish list ;)

Oh really, now whats that oval shaped pink snouted creature just flying overhead? :rolleyes:

Boro it's ??? ??? surprised u can't see it cos i can..:)

Greasemonkey..now wouldn't that be nice..:)

The technology is already in place mate and is working on motorways in and around the london area RIGHT NOW! Snapping reg numbers and checking if recorded stolen.

Someone help me out here and tell me which motorway and teach this muppet not to question me :p

Oi Muppet, read this :)

An extract...

Now..... where was that oval pink snouted thing you saw?

I just heard the thud as it hit the ground :D Bacon for tea!

This checking of cars has been mooted for some time now and it is well within the technical capabilities of the equipment available. Apart from checking on the legalities of the car it will be very convenient for the authorities to be able to know where people have been driving to and where they have been on a given day. Many see this as an invasion of privacy and see the days of "Big Brother" arriving in the foreseeable future!

Why do they have dates on them?

Is it to show everybody when you bought your car?

Mine says 31.05.01.

There was an article in the Scotsman motoring section a while back talking about new registration plates coming into force in 2004/05 time which will have an embedded micro chip, these will be fitted to all new vehicles and or replacement plates.

When you are in close proximity to a meat wagon, your car will be scanned checking, MOT, Insurance, Tax etc and further scanning could be carried out by roadside equipment (from what I understand all these blue Traffic Master posts are equipped!) this again will allow them to monitor your average speed :o

I agree with the checking of the manditory Tax, MOT and insurance documentation, this can only be a good thing! but silent monitoring of ones speed is pushing it too far!
