13 plates – unlucky for some?

If you’re planning to buy a new car next year you’ll be given a 13 plate. If you’re superstitious this may spell bad luck for you. Triskaidekaphobia as the fear of the number 13 is known is common and widespread, even the Vikings feared the number 13! So what can you do? Perhaps you’ll postpone buying your new car until 2014, but this isn’t the ideal solution for anyone who wants their new car sooner or is worried that their old car won’t last another year. A great way to avoid a 13 plate and any potential bad luck it may bring is to buy yourself a personalised plate from Speedy Reg. You can pick from a huge array of plates to suit all budgets and avoided the dreaded 13 – problem solved!
