  1. In Australia, the number plate is an indication that the car has been registered, because they’re issued upon vehicle registration which is then paid annually including Comprehensive Third Party Insurance to protect any person you injure while at the wheel. A licence is issued when you successfully complete your Driver’s Examination, both in handling the car and knowing the rules of the road. If you want to sell the vehicle at some stage, you have to pay to transfer the number plate with the vehicle so the new owner can apply to attach themselves to that motor vehicle’s registration. All vehicles must bear front and rear plates. NSW originally had a luminous yellow plate with solid black lettering, so the Police could identify a car at night, as could anyone looking to report a driver. As the years went by, the number of drivers/owners kept growing until they began to run out of three letters and three numbers combinations, even with recycling expired plates. This caused the new versions and order of letters and numbers in order to extend the number of available registrations. Personalised number plates have become more popular as time has gone on, but very expensive.
