According to many people, 49 and 53 are considered to be extremely bad luck numbers. Possessing these two numbers will cause bad luck in the process of use or bring bad luck in work, love and daily life. Therefore, people often have the concept of "avoiding" these two numbers when choosing house numbers, phone numbers and especially license plates.
Ms. B's case is not the first, however, the number of people who click on the license plate with the same numbers 49 and 53 next to each other is not much. That's why when the information was posted, many people in Nghe An came to... "thank" B because thanks to her, the following people will limit the possibility of picking a license plate containing these two numbers. In addition, many people also named B as the woman with the "golden hand" in the license plate picking village.
Because she did not like this license plate, as soon as she finished buying it, Ms. B wanted to sell both the car and the license plate. However, according to Lawyer Luong Huy Ha - Director of LawKey LLC - Hanoi Bar Association, according to Clause 3, Article 3, Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA of the Ministry of Public Security issued on July 1, 2023, effective from August 15, 2023, license plates are issued and managed according to the identification code of the vehicle owner. Therefore, each license plate is attached to a specific individual or organization, not attached to the vehicle, and its identification plate cannot be sold to others.
Regarding cases where it is allowed to sell a vehicle with a license plate, Lawyer Luong Huy Ha said that according to the provisions of Point a, Clause 4, Article 6 of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, when selling, donating, giving, inheriting, exchanging, contributing capital, allocating, or transferring a vehicle (hereinafter referred to as transferring vehicle ownership):
The vehicle owner must retain the vehicle registration certificate and license plate (not give it to the organization or individual receiving the transfer of vehicle ownership) and submit the vehicle registration certificate and license plate to the vehicle registration authority to carry out the revocation procedure. In case of transferring vehicle ownership with the license plate of the auctioned vehicle, the vehicle owner must submit the vehicle registration certificate to the vehicle registration authority to carry out the revocation procedure. Thus, the case of selling a vehicle with the license plate is only applicable to vehicles using the auction license plate.
According to the reporter's survey, many license plates containing the numbers 49 and 53 have been auctioned and brought in high winning bids. Typically, license plate 30L-049.53 in Hanoi was paid up to 45 million VND in the license plate auction on January 13, 2024.
