Number Plates On Top!

Although I recently reported that motorists are set to take up garages' finance loans in order to grab themselves a brand new car this autumn, it seems the dreaded credit crunch is affecting all areas, as sales of new cars are expected to plummet over the coming year, making new car sales the lowest in 42 years.

As mentioned recently, the credit crunch is resulting in an increase in number plates thefts as unlawful drivers attempt to get away with not paying for fuel, etc. It seems these thieves are not fussy when it comes to where they nab them from - it was recently reported that a milk float in Surrey had its plates removed, so police may be initially shocked to find the 'culprit' not paying congestion charges, or hurtling off at top speed without paying for petrol, is a kindly old milkman.

According to reports, it seems the sales of personalised number plates are not following the same pattern, however. Despite the country's economy problems, private car registrations continue to catch the eye of drivers, and sales continue to rise year on year. It seems more and more people are catching onto the fact that, unlike cars, which inevitably decrease in value over time, number plates continue to be a great investment, especially if well chosen.

So, once again, number plates come out on top! Yippee!
