Why cars have Registration Plates

A registration plate is a rectangle shaped piece of metal that has at least 6 letters and numbers on which are in black writing. The registration plate is screwed on to a car. A car is a machine that has an engine, four wheels and has a metal frame. A car is used for travelling to places faster than walking.

My first reason for having a registration plate is so the police can help you. Police can find out were your car is if they know the numbers and letters on it in the right order. In a car chase the police can call in the police station and tell them the writing on the registration plate and send more units out to go and spot the car.

My second reason is if your car has been stolen, police can track it down by satellite. The police send the registration plates details to the satellite and the satellite will send back the information the police need. The information will say were the car is in that current position. This way police will be able to find the car.

My third and final reason is to help identify your own car. Every single registration plate in the country will have a different registration plate to anyone else.

Police can use a registration plate to find stolen cars, help you find your own car, and it also helps you identify your own car.
