I have committed a Crime

We still have not had it revealed why the mark was displayed as "MR 13YNG". 

If this was a mistake by the plate maker surely there would be some redress to be obtained from them?  If it has been requested that the characters be spaced in that manner, then no.

What possible significance could there be in 13YNG?  It was stated earlier that it was not a name. YNG is a name though.

Just Google "Battle of Menorca 1757"  it will then become clear

Well well !!  I've said it before and I'll say it again surprising what oh learn on here , and not always anything to do with caravaning ect 

Thank  you Admiral Byng 

CBRBlackbird, The problem is that we have a very silly method of vehicle registration!  Ask your self what is the purpose of a registration number ?  To Identify the vehicle?  NO!   The vehicle has a VIN no or chassis no to do that!- It is to identify the owner, so that due process can be sent to him/her in the event of a transgression.  Today we are almost the only country that persists with our outdated system.

The better way is to register Owners, Not vehicles!  So that whatever number you have now is yours for life, and whenever you change your car, you move the number that identifies YOU to the new vehicle.  Then everyone has a personalised plate.

Companies have a block of numbers and move them through the fleet as it is renewed etc. The system works very well in the States, Australia New Zealand, Canada, France et etc. So why do we use our stupid and outdated system?  I am known for my wishing to stick to the old ways but even I can see the merit in registering owners Not vehicles!  As I said vehicles already have a VIN number which is much more reliable as an identifier of the vehicle!

The other great thing about the French system is that when you insure your car it is the car not the person who is insured.  So, any owner can allow anyone without traffic offences to drive their car and still be fully comp insured.  Great when family and friends come to stay and want a day out on their own.  Its also possible to drive a French car anywhere in the EU for as long as you like without the 30 day or 60 day maximum trip nonsense that UK insurance firms generally  insist upon.  TF is right.  We can learn a lot from our European neighbours on this one.

And what about when you have more than one car? 

Simples!  You have two - or even more numbers all allocated to you.  Some companies can have blocks of several hundred numbers. All registered to that company.

You can have any number of registrations allocated to you. - provided of course that you pay the annual charge!

Getting back to 13YNG, I'll take a bet that the 1 and 3 on the admirals plate were closer than they should have been. Correct?

Why pick on the officer. At the end of the day he did not commit the offence!!
