Registration fees is one time expenditure and is necessary to legally drive the vehicle and hence can be added to the cost of vehicle. However expenses on account of insurance is of revenue in nature and even the first premium is also valid for first year only. So it would be appropriate to treat it as a revenue expenditure.

Insurance expenses relating to F.Y. concerned should be debited to P&L & the balance will be debited to Prepaid Insurance acc*nt to be shown under Loans & advances. This balance should be transferred to Insurance in the subsequent year.
