Random vehicle registration numbers from July 2

[K74T]

The Ministry of Works and Transport is adivising that with effect from Monday 2nd July, 2018 vehicle registration numbers will now be assigned to vehicles

on a randomized basis within the latest series.

This new system replaces the issuance of vehicle registration numbers on a sequential basis as previously in place.

As an example, the first new vehicle to register on a given day may receive the registration number PDT 1268 while the next vehicles to register may receive the registration numbers PDT 2225; PDT 4001; and PDT 6756.

Please be advised that this system will be enforced at all licensing offices where vehicle

registration takes place throughout Trinidad and Tobago, and is in keeping with the mandate of the Ministry as it works towards improving all its processes.

what's the point of this though? I could understand if the 3 letters were also randomized...

[ruffneck_12]

well, there goes my plans of getting an entire fleet of cars with 666 number plates

[hydroep]

The only thing I can think of is to encourage sales.

I've heard there are people who forgo purchases once a series crosses half way because in their mind getting an early number in a new series means their vehicle will be "newer for longer"...

Perhaps this random system will take that factor out of the equation since the consumer cannot reasonably gauge when one series will end and another shall begin.

Why would they want to encourage more cars on the road? We don't have enough traffic?

[pugboy]

So allyuh could get 72

Using the above argument it’s not increasing the number of cars... person was gonna buy anyway. It’s just flattening out demand instead of having peaks with people speculating series changes

[pugboy]

Reserve “fee” gonna increase

[Gem_in_i]

Random. So all lic offices linked to a system?

[goalpost]

This is a very unnecessary change

[pugboy]

Before they go to a system where the plate is tied directly to a person instead of a car to reduce bobol

[skylinechild]

every few years we have issues where the POS licensing office and sando office gives out the same numbers....in error.

i await to see the outcome of this and how much errors it has.

i would also like to know the move from the sequential numbering to the random numbering.

how does this affect the price of bodi? no seriously, what i being accomplished by this?
is like announcing that u will start marching with ur left foot instead of ur right foot as u did before...

bodi prices unaffected ATM bruh.... but i did see penal and debe have cheaper prices.

but to be honest licensing offices have problems issuing sequential numbers.... what gonna happen when they start issuing non sequential numbers.

[kstt]

RANDOM NUMBERS
*in hushed tones*
(with exceptions)

[SR]

Makes no sense when it only applies to 4 digit numbers while the others are still reserved

[toyolink]

We cant get the basics right but yet we want to move on to additional operational head-aches.
This may very well be like putting on deodorant without taking a bath...….What you think will happen?

[aaron17]

Wait... so they skipping nos for them to get '1' and other low numbers?

[rspann]

When you want a number now, you don't have to wait for it to come up. Say I want a car now, I don't have to wait on 5400 if that's what I want. Makes the bribery system easier.

[maj. tom]

But what's the cult bout getting certain numbers? They make the vehicle worth more on resale or something? How? I really not understanding this system. We really so 3rd world?

[rspann]

I rather random no's that are not so easy to recognize.

Aye, look sunior jammy dey. 72 nah.

IMO if you want to reduce the amount of cars on the road you need

A) Reliable Public Transportation

B) Bike lanes and more incentives to promote cycling.

C) Reduce crime so you don't get murdered cycling or traveling to work.

All 3 of the above will never happen in this sh!t hole country
