So...what's the deal with all the over due license plate tags ...they all have 09 tags

[empiboy]

i dunno how it's done there in the U.S., but here, we register our vehicles based on the 2nd and last digit of our license plates. for example: my bug's plate numbers are (DBY) 890...the 3rd digit (0) means that i'll register my bug on the 10th month of the year (october). the 2nd digit (9) determines which week of the month of october. so to make things simple...i'll register my bug on the last week of the 10th month.

that explains why some of us have still use the '09 tags even though it's already 2010. though, i noticed the red Kg whose plate number ends with a 1, still haven't registered for 2010 ;D

Nice Vdub you guys have there!

So you guys get the tag with the year you start your registration, right?

Here in the States, we get the tags for the end of the regisration.

@ robert: i think i paid around $70.00 for the over all registration which includes the following expenses:

1. actual registration fee
2. smoke emission testing (the computer printout is attached to the registration papers)
3. Third Party Liability Insurance policy
