Thread: Vic Number plates...what's after ZZZ-999?

When we run out of plates, that's it. No more cars allowed on the road.

(How I wish that was true.)
Seriously, SA have a plate with seven characters. "S" followed by three numbers an three letters. Maybe we'll be going something similar with a "V" in front.

Hi,
In Malaysia (1960s) the number plates had a logical code that you could immediately recognise the vehicle's home state, the year of first registration and guess an approximate month of that year.
It made the vehicle plate a bit more meaningful at a glance which must have some policing benefits.
cheers

If policing is the primary purpose, I imagine the future we may just have a transponder or barcode.

I am hoping for something that I could make a nice personalised plate out of! (I know I know, vanity plate!)

It may go 001-AAA ? That will work for a while

Boring, but true, AAA001 with a new safety message, Vic - don't drive badly, or similar. I saw AAA 003 on a prius around Christmas time.

Or go like WA and throw a 1 in front and start again....1AAA-000??

I love the idea of a barcode. You could swap other peoples plates around and no one would notice.

I could understand them issuing unused numbers but they can't reissue the whole alphabet again. Imagine the screw ups with Citylink and the revenue cameras.....sorry.....safety cameras
