"13" Plate cars.

[wildcat45]

I assume these will be issued but I wonder how many superstitious people will put off purchasing for 6 months.

It wouldn't bother me, but superstition extends to some pretty big organisations. Someone told me there is no number 13 dock at one of the navy's dockyards. Its called the Old Dock instead.

Staying with the navy there is no warship with the number F232, because that is the form you fill in when one sinks.

I knew a woman who told me green cars were unlucky.

8 is lucky in some cultures and that is why, a guy I met from Airbus told me they called their new plane the A380.

I know the DVLA didn't issue Scottish numbers SN07 because it looks like SNOT, so if they can withold numbers for trivial things like that, will they issue the "unlucky" 13?

Its all bks to me, but there are superstitious folk and cultures out there.

Our street doesn't have a number 13.

Wish I'd known marriage was a curse.

I just bought a car and it was Friday the 13th.

My first house was No.13.

That's because it's only 10 houses long.

Yes they will be issued in March next year.

13 can be made to look like a B, so I imagine there will be lots of takers

I bought on a new build estate a few years back. No No. 13's on any street.

Also on my mum and dads estate no 13.

DVLA will be missing a trick if they don't though, 13 looks like a B.

NO13BER

For example

[xRIEx]

The house numbers on my street go ... 11, 15A, 15 ...

I moved from no. 13 to a new build -- no. 13

Superstition.....what a load of bks!!!

[wildcat45]

Actually we don't have a 13 where I live. The street where I grew up had a 13. The bloke who lived there hanged himself in the garage. Must have been a curse.....or simply that the poor man had severe depression.

13 plates are being issued here, although in Southern Ireland (where the plate starts with the year of registration) there is a real worry that cars sales will fall - which is a problem when the market over there is on its knees already

As a result, they are looking at possible alternatives (131) being one of them, and may also then be used to start bi-annual registrations like we have here. Quite a big thing for the ROI, where at present, 70% of all new cars are registered between January and March

A lot of tall buildings have no floor 13, all tosh imho.

TX.

Most passenger aircraft don't have a row 13
