Driver-to-Driver Contact Through Registration Numbers with New Service

Have you ever hankered to express a single word expletive to the boy racer that arrogantly overtook you on a blind bend? Perhaps you've dreamt of giving the driver in front a good telling off for braking too hard? Or maybe the lady or lad of your dreams scooted off at the traffic lights before you got chance to jump out of your car amongst a flourish of grandeur to hand them your telephone number?

These and other such social/driving dilemmas might be solved through the introduction of a new service that allows drivers to text each other based solely on their registration number - there is no need to know the other driver's mobile number.

The service was unveiled by Gloucestershire based text2reg.com and allows registration of a vehicle for £1.50, a fee that allows drivers to send messages, at a cost of £1.50 each, to other registered drivers via car registration numbers, and to receive free messages.

Whilst the site aims to provide a registration/text based dating service - it could be argued that drivers would get more benefit from the service by "texting" the driver registration of the most annoying and dangerous vehicles on the road. OK, maybe not benefit, but good fun! The service, however, becomes less useful when it's revealed that drivers who don't register may never realise they have unread messages.

With the service initially being aimed at young and single drivers who are more likely to flirt glances at the traffic lights, perhaps the service will be rolled out to grumpy old men and women, for the purposes of moaning about the car in front, some time soon!
