Safety tips on traveling with your pets by car

Traveling with your furry friends can arguably one of the best memories you can have as you take them out for a big adventure. However, most public transport vehicles in Hong Kong do not allow passengers to bring their pets. That’s why a lot of pet owners will ride with their animal companions in their own cars. But the situation can also be a bit tricky if you do not plan ahead and understand the risks involved. For example, your Golden Retriever may get so excited at the back seat that it jumps up and down all the time, while your Shiba is getting carsick. In light of this, our experts at Kwiksure have curated this article to showcase some safety tips on driving with pets to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip for everyone.

The most valuable license plates in Hong Kong

These days, creative vehicle license plates, such as '1MAG1NE', 'OK LA' and 'TAX1', are a common sight in Hong Kong, and we have our Transport Department (TD) to thank for this relatively new phenomenon. Since TD launched the Personalized Vehicle Registration Marks Scheme (PVRM Scheme) in 2006, auctions have been held every January, May, and September - where PVRMs as well as more traditional license plate numbers go to the highest bidders. Many local magnates and celebrities like to personalize their vehicles with a PVRM. Following the scheme’s launch more than 15 years ago, many license plate combinations have been auctioned off for prices that are nothing short of breathtaking. Today we will take stock of the most expensive license plate combinations in Hong Kong.
