Did You Memorise Your Car Plate Number? by engrtee(f): 5:19pm On Oct 12, 2012
A friend asked us to say the number of our car plate without looking. More than half of us couldn't. I only remembered the last three alphabets - ABC

can you remember yours? (please don't write it for security reason)

CAN U REMEMBER URS? (plz dont write it for security reason)

Of course I know my license plate number without looking. It's not about memorizing, it's something I just do subconsciously. I even remember the license plate numbers of my mom's first car in Nigeria, bought in 1976, a brand new Ford Cortina, my dad's car bought the same year, a Plymouth Avenger. I remember every subsequent license plate number of all cars they owned thereafter.

Heck, I even remember my friend's parent's car registration numbers from the same era. If one can't memorize their own licence plate numbers, how then can they remember anything else their driving instructor ever taught them? Or any of the rules of driving they picked up from friends?

If one can't remember their own license plate number, they shouldn't even be on the road.

@Siena, help needed here please.

@Topic, i just have to laff.lol. The number of cars whose plate numbers i have in my head are just too many. & for most of them, i usually don't intend to memorise them, they just stick! Even the new number plates of my neighbours' cars (those who changed theirs) have started sticking to my head! It has advantages though. & IMO, not knowing your car's license plate is like not knowing your car colour! Each is just as important as the other.

Why should anyone not know his/her car plate number offhand?
Its almost like not knowing your own phone number...
Doesn't make sense!!
Re: Did You Memorise Your Car Plate Number? by Nobody: 3:19pm On Oct 13, 2012
I dont know any of my cars plate numbers, none of them. On one occasion I needed to send a mechanic to the slammers. When I arrived at the police station and was asked about the vehicle info, I could not even know my car plate number. It sucked, and I left and never went back.

On another occasion concerning a pal. My friend nearly got into a fight with one woman who kept insisting that his range rover his her own at the Shopping Mall. He said, madam this is my car, and the woman was shouting 'This is my Car!' and she was busy fumbling with the remote to open the doors and it wasnt working, so my friend unlocked the car with his remote. It was his journals and items in the truck that confused the woman, so we all looked around until she located her truck parked quite a distance from there. Was such a scene. None of them also knew their plate numbers.

I recognize people while driving from afar via their plate numbers. You can hardly drive past me unless am just absent. Your number plate tells me its you.

So anything like ''TA 2011 PDP'' sticks like gum.

My dear its not as easy as it seems esp with the plate nos that was introduced by the FRSC. It was deliberately meant to mesmerize and confuse car owners.

The days of LA---- LA and BD----BD. are over. Besides these days Nigerians change cars the way women change wrappers. A stubborn policeman deliberately witheld my particulars and demanded for my car plate no- that was when I used to argue with Nigerian policemen....

I've known every of our family member's since I was a kid. Even now, there's no one I don't store. iGuess it helps it's already part of me and helps in 'sorting' our vehicles. The ones I usually like are other states, it makes me guess what Kakawa State - 'LKI' for example means.
