Number plates beginning with DG
Discussion
Hello everyone,
I can't help but keep noticing loads of number plates that start with the DG prefix, looked it up and it seems that this area is DG - Deeside-Shrewsbury: Chester.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Does anyone know why there are so many?
(P.s I don't live in that area, I'm noticing this over in west yorkshire!)

It will be likely that a big local dealer uses the Shrewsbury office to do all their registering, and/or a big fleet/lease operator doing the same, as opposed to using whichever Yorkshire office might be closer geographically.
Same reason that there's loads of HK prefix cars where I live in Horsham because our Skoda garage uses Portsmouth even though most other garages in the area use Brighton

Have you noticed if they're a particular brand?I live in the Chester area and off the top of my head I can't think of any reason why it should be the case - there's no brand or large lease company head-office etc that I'm aware of.
We have a DG, but our other two local cars are DK.
It's pretty common. Vauxhall press and such card are registered with a Chester plate.
BMW use Thorne near Doncaster as theirs, so all BMW registered cars are on a Yorkshire plate. Old ones are on a Reading plate.
The VAG group for staff cars use luton, so get a K* plate, same for Merc stuff.
Lots of rental VAG stuff is on a Kent plate too. Big fleets register cars all over the place.

Its to do with where they are registered -
