Dangerous letter ‘Z’

According to research conducted by a leading car insurance company, motorists might be better of steering well clear of any vehicles with the letters “NCZ” on their registration plate.

Apparently, the study of 643,939 accident claims showed that cars which have the letter “Z” in their registration number have the most crashes – and no Z-plates more so than ones which end with “NCZ”.

The letter “Z” features in three of the top five plates linked with at-fault insurance claims, and in two of the top five non-fault – so whether you’re out for a spin in your non-Z-plate-vehicle, or planning on buying a car – stay away from “Z” registrations!

The managing director of the insurance company, which undertook the strange research, stated, “I’m sure this is just a coincidence – we’ve got no plans to charge more for some registrations as a result.”

Well, thank goodness for that – still, take heed!
