I am talking about our car here. June is the month where car registrations are renewed every year, and this is also when it is scheduled for an oil change and a semi-annual car check-up. It was a bit expensive for us, as June is also the month where the kids go to school and in this school year, we have two kids now going to school. So it was a bit overwhelming for us but thankfully we were able to pull everything through without so much of a hitch. I need to thank my lucky stars and the Big Man Up There for the steady stream of work these days.

Anyway, when the car’s registration was renewed we were told that we would need to have the car checked and inspected next year, which would mean that its registration would double as the vehicle has a new machine. At least we don’t need a new car plate. I have always been curious how DVLA Number Plates are formed. Here, we have three letters and three numbers. The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) in the UK has a new style of number plate introduced in September 2001. The arrangement of the now is 2 letters, then 2 digits, then 3 more letters. The most desirable of these new plate designs form the names of boys or girls names or the type of employment the buyer is in. Just remember when designing your  plate the letters, I, Q, Z, cannot be used in the formation of your plate design and you cannot apply a number plate to a vehicle if it makes the vehicle appear newer than it is.
