In a world, where nearly everything is the same, this sameness can be very constricting. Ask the artist and he’d tell people how he struggles to make his paintings dissimilar from others and yet pleasing and beautiful. For a person that values his individuality, this can be a very tiresome and frustrating experience. He endeavors to turn his wardrobe, his apartment and lifestyle to make his individuality stand-out and seen by others. But as soon as he jumps into his car, his individuality vanishes. His car plates are marked as ‘UYHJA746’.
Uniquely Unique
There is no denying that the car plate used as an example above is unique. All car plates are meant to be unique like all men and women are from each other. The problem with this is that uniqueness in cars are on a different level from what is provided by these ‘unique’ but ordinary license plates. What the guy needs are Private reg plates. These plates simply exude uniqueness. These plates take the word out of unique and turn it into something better.
When a person buys a private reg plate, the person is not just buying an ‘ordinary’ plate. The person is purchasing the right and the happy power of assigning a set of letters and numbers to the certain license plate. Now, people must remember that this right is a one-time right. Once it is used, then right fades away. But not entirely, the license plate now belongs to the person.
The Responsibilities Attached
The Greeks have a saying that ‘there are no free lunches’. This is perfectly true as there are always prices for gifts, big or small. This is also the case with the private number plates. The first responsibility is that off renewal. People, who avail of this right to own private reg plates, have to renew the right use the special plates from 1, 2 or 3 years.
Now, the other responsibility is a somewhat passive one and would only apply if the owner decides to attach and use the special plates to another car. If they do this, they have the responsibility to inform their insurance companies that they did so. And that is it.
