British registration plates are the vehicle identification number plates used in the United Kingdom ("the UK") to display the name of the owner of a vehicle.
King George V introduced them when he ascended
to the throne in 1911 with
records dating back to 1902. The King had attempted to introduce identity cards for car owners, but hadn't found any overwhelming support, so instead people were asked to register their vehicles by getting "number plates" bearing letter pairs.
