Format, years and the law
- Format
-
LLLLLL, for exampleDYRVKW(L is any letter)The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it.
- Years issued
- Documented since 2021; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.
- Vehicle class
- Dealer: trade/garage plates bound to a business, not a vehicle. Issued for car, van, truck, bus, motorcycle, and trailer.
- About this plate
- The period is an upper bound for the same reason as the personalised series: dealer plates plainly predate a 2021 regulation.
- Who the plate belongs to
- reg 2021 s 6(1)(b): the registered operator 'for a dealer plate, is the person in whose name the dealer plate is currently registered'; s 6(2) declares that a person in whose name a dealer plate is equivalently registered is NOT the registered operator. The plate follows the business, not a vehicle, the German rote-Kennzeichen and Florida dealer-plate pattern
