Car Registration
My car registration is in the format A123BCD but with the number 100.
Recently while out driving I found myself with a car parked to my left and another approaching me on the other side of the road. Both of these cars had the same format of reg no and their number was 100. All cars were different makes and models and as far I am aware none of the owners/drivers were connected in any way. What are odds of this happening???

In the face of it, this makes the chances slim because the two other 100s would have to travel in from their respective other counties.
On the other hand, big cities would have dozens of three letter sets all applying to the same registration district, and the lower numbers on each sequence would be the most likely to recur. So, if you live in a city, the odds of this coincidence aren't so low.
