A mobile social networking service claims it could help drivers seeking love and friendship to find their soulmate.

MYPL8 allows members to jot down the car registration of the person who catches their eye and, when convenient, text them anonymously through the MYPL8 service.

“We are staggered by the take-up of MYPL8 and now have clusters of members in almost every corner of the UK,” says founder Euan Williamson.

“We don’t promise to help people find the partner of their dreams but it is happening.

“Others are making friends or simply chatting with owners of similar cars, especially vintage and more unusual models, or reporting potentially serious vehicle defects like faulty brake lights to fellow members.

The service says it has a strict rule of no texting while driving and is fully compliant with current data protection legislation –  users only divulge their contact details if they choose.

“Of course there is a safety issue, but from the very beginning of MYPL8 we were determined that users should be able to have fun whilst being protected from any abuse.”
