I don't think it will be applied to anyone anytime soon. IMO, for the moment this is just a declaration of intention.
You know how things work here. Just because it's announced, doesn't mean it will happen next week.

Not saying this won't ever happen, but in the KOW you announce the idea first, then think about the implications, then work out if it's doable.
Announcement: Barcodes are to be put on all vehicle licence plates so they are all traceable.
Implications: All vehicles will be registered and relayed to a central data base that all traffic policemen will be able to access.
That should be more than enough to go on with.

It might contain even 10% of vehicles on the road. If they do tax stops again next year maybe they'll get more registered. Aren't the Number plates in the US only state based? I seem to recall seeing stuff on TV about them not being able to check out of state plates. And, uh yeah, why not have unique strings of numbers and letters and then use that as a vehicle identifier? Even if your address is just village 3 and utterly useless for locating the owner without a general search
