Here in France there are two types of vehicle registration. Normal and Collection. There used to be a law that if you wanted to drive your collection car out of your department (administrative area) you had to fill out a special form.

I'm convinced that this law was only created to give the civil servants something to do. Anyway, as usual here in France nobody took any notice so the law was quietly scrapped.

The same thing happened a few years ago, they made a law saying that every car had to have a special type of alcohol tester for the driver in the glove box. Then the French government discovered that there were not enough manufacturers around that could produce this special tester. So again, the law was quietly dropped.

I'm sure it's the same all over the world. Just more work for idle hands.
