Ireland will be mocked if it brings in silly superstitious 113 & 213 number plates.

[Binomial]

Ireland will rightly be mocked worldwide if it brings in 1-13 and 2-13 number plates on superstitious grounds while at the same time failing to legislate for medically indicated terminations where the life of the mother is at risk.


from wikipedia:

Registration marks on number plates in Ireland issued since 1987 have the format YY-CC-SSSSSS where the components are:

• YY — a 2-digit year (e.g. 87 for 1987; 05 for 2005), from 2013: a 3-digit year (e.g. 131 for January–June 2013; 132 for July–December 2013)[1]
• CC — a 1- or 2-character county identifier (e.g. D for Dublin; SO for Sligo).
• SSSSSS — a 1- to 6-digit sequence number, starting with the first vehicle registered in the county that year.

The number reg scam is probably the single stupidest reason for doing anything and I have heard some humdingers.

Superstitious grounds??

What century do these donkeys think we are living in that we would accept that as the reason for introducing 2 plates in the one year.

Just come out and be honest about it and say you want to sell cars throughout the year as opposed to just selling the majority of them in Jan-March instead of this absolutely cretinous balderdash.

The car registration for Derry is of the format ?UI 1234, with the 1st letter changing each cycle.

A few years back they skipped FUI, thinking it sounded rude.

Now thats stupid.

As arguments for abortion go, this is the lamest yet.
