The Green party in Ireland have come up with a unique way to revise the number plate system. They propose that because a 08 number plate holds so much prestige that by changing the year to an energy rating for the vehicle. This would mean the number plate would have a figure instead of a number.
They believe that by removing the year from a number plate would actually change the status of people who feel that they need to have the latest model or year. But instead would have the energy rating in its place, this would help people see immediately what tax bracket the car is in and how green it is.
Mary White, the Green Party TD for Carlow-Kilkenny, said "A change to the registration plates would remove the status attached to purchasing new cars."
‘‘There’
‘‘cleverly calibrated as a useful gauge of fuel-efficiency’’
However there could be problems with this, as without the year on the number plate there would not be any way of knowing how old the car is, as this would only be available on the registration papers. This may cause problems for some second hand car buyers later on.
