Looking for a Car Reg for Rob?
Robert Downey Junior is probably best known for his role in the Iron Man movies where he plays wealthy industrialist Tony Stark who creates weapons of mass destruction as well as all sorts of gadgets and inventions. From the film we can gather that the character Tony Stark is fond of his gadgets and fast moving vehicles but wonder if Robert Downey Junior has a similar personality. The actor is well known for his mad personality and sense of style so the team at Speedy Reg reckon that he would

As a result of the findings of a public consultation last year, all of the 39 local offices of the DVLA are set to close. Phased closures will start in October and by the end of December 2013 all of the offices bar one will be shut down. When this is complete, everything will go through the main office at Swansea which will be the only remaining office by that point. Because of these changes, there will be other changes implemented to make dealing with one centralised DVLA location easier

Last month there was an assassination attempt on the life of Radovan Krejcir from the Czech Republic. However, the manner in which this was carried out was very strange indeed. No simple shooting here; this was more like something out of a James Bond film than anything in real life. Krejcir had just stepped out of his car to enter his offices when he hears a loud noise. He turns round to see his car full of bullet holes. Panicking at the obvious attempt on his life, he runs to get out of

READ MORE →Number plates to the scrapheap?
The DVLA has always withheld number plates which it deems to be offensive. However, it may expand its definition of what is considered unacceptable, raising the possibility that existing number plates could be reclassified. What would happen in those circumstances? Could such number plates be recalled? The difficulty here is that personalised number plates command a premium. Twice a year, new plates which can be read as recognised words attract bids from collectors, investors and those ke
READ MORE →The latest DVLA banned plates
The DVLA meet twice a year to decide which plates will be banned. Generally this covers anything that might be considered offensive. They met again recently to assess the latest plates before their release in September, and as always the banned list makes for an interesting and something amusing read! This time they've banned all plates that end in KOK. B011 CKS has been banned, along with SH12 EDD, BLO8 JOB, BB11 TCH, K11 LLA, BU62 GER and 51 LUT. They've also banned any plates that cont
