New CAA licence numbers

CA registration marks will no longer be issued when it runs out. New Cape Town vehicle number plates will now start with the letters CAA. Vehicle owners who currently have a CA registration mark will be able to have this mark transferred to another vehicle they own, or to another vehicle that is transferred into their names.
