That's a great example of glass is half full or half empty. 10000 lucky chaps who needn't worry about selling their vehicle anytime in their life.

Also see how biased this media report is? They haven't reported other side of story from a happy guy who also got S.E.X series for his bike.

Re: S.E.X in the Number Plate: Rider not able to ride

Sorry can't we dispose the number in Delhi and get another number?

I am planning to do the same in Gurgaon (HR) registration for my Thar, I think same should be applicable in Delhi too. Can anyone throw light on this please?

Re: S.E.X in the Number Plate: Rider not able to ride

This reminded me of an incident in school. Maths teacher asks me to solve a problem on the black board:

y = sec(x) + (forgot the rest)

I go to the board and in all excitement, forget the 'c'.

Needless to say that I was the Rockstar for the next few days.

Now that the news has hit the headlines, selling the scooter won't be that hard either.
That was my initial thought. But since it's the "DL 3S EX xxxx" part causing the grief, wouldn't this girl's predicament not be that unique? Someone desperate for this license plate could register a new vehicle and not pay the premium for her humble scooty. This is of course with the assumption that RTO authorities have not stopped issuing registrations with this sequence altogether.

Re: S.E.X in the Number Plate: Rider not able to ride

Few years ago when I bought my first bike it had registration that started with KL 36D xxxx. I used to joke to my wife about how it sounds similar to lingerie sizes. Like someone mentioned I have seen KL nn BJ xxxx series also. Beyond a grin and sometimes a hearty laugh I never thought number plates could cause this sort of trouble.

This is the answer for this issue right. No need to sell the scooter.

Re: S.E.X in the Number Plate: Rider not able to ride

Don't know but feels like the article or the owner is blowing this out of proportion a little bit. Since when did aunties start noticing number plates!? Unless she goes around grabbing attention intentionally, most of the people won't even notice it. And if its really bothering her, she can get a square plate in the front or better as aargee mentioned sell the scooter off to the highest bidder! 😁

RTO Officials in Delhi can not help because there is no provision to change the registration number. Around 10,000 numbers have been issued for that series.

I think there is a workable solution for this. She can order new set of plates for her scooty. And replace the front number plate with the rear plate from new set. In this case, both the number plates will be of same size with DL 3S EX xxxx in two lines, similar to as suggested by iamahunter.

In case of 2W, there is no sticker bearing serial numbers of individual plates. She can keep the front plates in boot of scooty in case any police person questions excessively.

Re: S.E.X in the Number Plate: Rider not able to ride

Will she be able to re-register the bike in UP or Haryana and use it in Delhi?
I am sure now agents will be offering services like arranging a temp address in Noida or Gurgaon and re-register vehicles under this series.

Re: S.E.X in the Number Plate: Rider not able to ride

This not-pleasant coincidence is going to haunt some owner. One thing she can try - though will be a bit of deviation from RTO rules: Use a square number plate in front. THis way the number can be displayed as
DL 3S
EX nnnn

you can't do that, it's HSRP number plates, are made by Govt contractor and affixed by showroom, no change possible.

Haha, we used to make fun of our friend who has two such numbers, one with BJ and another with BS.

And then I bought 2 cars within 2 months gap and had to put with AF series.

Delhi RTO is sitting on a goldmine. People will pay money to have one from this series of number plates.

Re: S.E.X in the Number Plate: Rider not able to ride

To those saying that just forget about the 1-2 seconds and move on, let me tell you something which I have understood about Delhi from my best friend (also a girl). Delhi, as a whole is such a place where unfortunately girls are stared upon just for wearing a crop-top. I'm also aware about a ridiculously high number of comments being made on her especially as she moves out of her apartments.

If this can happen to a 15-year old girl who barely moves out of her house, imagine the plight of this lady who has to move around with that plate on her scooty written in that exact format.
