Your car reg

For those with a car, is your car reg region coded for the area that you live in (eg, B Birmingham, C, M, etc)?

Do you notice differences in driving quality, between drivers pf different region code car drivers?

Until recently I’d not really noticed this but the past couple of months, if I’ve had any issues with other drivers they always seem to have FX at the start. I googled it and found it’s a Lincolnshire plate.

Probably just coincidence though to be fair.

I do notice differing standards of driving in different areas as I drive all over the UK. I won’t say which I think is the worse though!

It's interesting and FX is Lincs, part of the 'Forest and Fens' region. I see a fair few F regs, from Derbyshire. Strangely, Cambridgeshire - where Fens proliferate, are typically A reg, for Anglia.

No, one has a personal plate on so that doesn't really count.

And the other one I just get labelled as a wanky BMW driver , when I'm not!

Our fleet was sourced from Scotland so there are a lot of bad Scottish drivers in the Midlands

Reading

They have THE craziest drivers here in reading so if there is a letter for reading watch out!

I once saw a smart car drive on the pavement to overtake a line of cars.

I didn’t know this.

My current car is WN and the one before was WS. Both are Bristol codes which are mostly correct as I got one from Bristol and the newer one from Bath.

I wouldn't say the license plates mean much, as a lot of cars are not driven where they were originally registered due to people moving, cars being sold etc. I live about 300 miles away from where my car was registered. But, I would say that different areas definitely have different driving styles that are the norm for local drivers, and depending on what that style is and what you're used to there's a good chance that you'll see it as bad driving.

I live in quite a sleepy rural area, but have driven in London regularly since I passed my test because I have family there that I visit and go there quite often for work. People where I live tend to think I'm quite an aggressive driver, but my family in London think my driving is the opposite. Most of the time I'm happy to pootle along at the relaxed pace of the local drivers, but at 7am when I'm trying to get ahead of the traffic on my way to a meeting, old Harold crawling down the national speed limit zone at 20mph in his Micra to get his morning paper does get on my wick a bit.

Basically said everything I thought in response to the OP. I moved from just outside London to S Wales and took some time getting used to the change in driving style. People here are far slower to spot and use opportunities to make progress. I've learnt not to be frustrated by this as it rarely makes that much difference. Back home driving like that can easily add 50% more time to a journey.

No. My car was first registered in Northampton

But I can say having driven around the country and city centres including Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dundee I can confidently say that the drivers in my small market home town are the worst drivers ever, rude, aggressive and just obnoxious

Sale

Mine is registered in Scotland that's because it was bought from Arnold Clark who are a Scottish company.
