Yoshi-Master:

Where as when someone I know who was selling his car in the U.S, simply sold it with the license plate, signed the title and reported the car sold to the appropriate authorities.

The new owner had to do a change or ownership, and registered the vehicle in his name.

danherb: I am looking at the situation where the first party wants to sale a car that has the number inscribed all over the body of the car. When the 2nd party who now buys the car has a new plate number different from the one inscribed on the car. Please how can we reconcile this problem of having a plate number different from the one inscribed on the body car by the 1st party?

eagle,eye:
Thought one can contimue with the old drivers licence untill it expires and you will then renew with the new one.....?
Anyway, am going to ask my neighbour who works for FRSC.

Pls ask and let us know his view

Nkanuzu: OP! Please cross check your facts before publishing. Going through your source (Punch Newspaper)nothing was said or written about the deadline for the new driver's license. The FRSC and enlightened Nigerians know that in making laws/regulations there must be a saving provisions to take care of acts done prior to the new law. FRSC will not compel a person to change his driver's license (lawfully issued) before its expiration. Therefore, the new driver's license applies to renewals, replacements and fresh Driver's License only.

Mr Aboki:


the Plates serves as an Identifier to the owner of a vehicle. Remember, a vehicle cannot commit a crime, its the owner or the driver that is held liable for whatever offences that is commited with a car.

talk true: The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) said that the old number plates and the old driver’s licence would expire by Sept. 30, 2013.
The commission said, “By October 1, 2013, it will be an offence for any owner or operator of a vehicle to still have affixed, old number plates on his/her vehicle as the deadline for the use of old plates is September 30, 2013.
When the new plates were introduced last year, the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive Officer, FRSC, Mr. Osita Chidoka, had explained that it was to ensure the safety and security of Nigerians and that the new plates were intended to tie a number plate to an individual or organisation. “Before, it was possible for you to sell your car with your number plate; but nowadays, number plates are registered in the name of the owner”

My view on the plate numbers:
The policy of attaching number plate to an individual is not the best. Plate number should be tied to a vehicle just like the Chassis number.
I am looking at a scenario where a police man stops a vehicle. The officer in the car will immediately key in the plate number of the vehicle in any database equipment on him, and the details of that car and the owner will appear. They can now approach the driver for confirmation and then, off you go.
But if a plate number is attached to an individual, maybe I registered my Toyota corolla and later sold it to buy a Honda jeep and I will then transfer the plate number to the jeep. When a police man stops me, the details of the number on the jeep will be for the Toyota corolla.
Unless they expect us to throw away the plate number of the car being sold and obtain another one for the newly purchased car which means that you will start seeing plate numbers in the dust bin.

On the issue of driver’s license:
Every driver’s license expires after 4 years. If the corps marshal introduces a new driver’s license, all he need to do is to give a space of 4 yrs from the date they started producing the new one. Anybody that comes for renewal or new one will get the new driver’s license and after 4 years which you know everybody must have renewed their own thereby getting the required one, you can now enforce it. But the problem is that the corps marshal wants to make money in his own time as he introduced it by giving only 1 year. The transformation in aviation industry today started when Kema chikwe was there. That of telecoms also started even before Obj became president but was completed during his tenure, and so many others. If he is not interested in the money, he should consider people whose driver’s license are still valid and will expire next year.

Whats your opinion?

Nkanuzu: Oga, there is no official statement from FRSC that an existing Driver's License will become invalid before the its official expiration date. Obtaining new driver's license applies only to fresh issue, renewal or replacement. The credibility of the source of your information is in issue as well as the credibility of the person (U) using same to deceive the public. Imagine the month of September having 31 days!

Siga: ....I believe the owner and the car details should be attached to every plates.... if and when u change ur car... it should be updated accordingly....

FOLYKAZE:

Gbagaun.........obviously, you dont own a bicycle and you are here mentioning sales of car

Yoshi-Master:
I don't understand this license plate thing.

Shouldn't a license plate be registered to a Person AND Vehicle?

Why does it have to be one or the other?

A license plate data pull from a database should give you the owners name and the car registered, what am I missing here?
