- Bulletin 33 row "Commercial Truck": current @#####, new #@@###, "Example of new pattern: 1AB234". Commercial vehicles over 5 500 kg licensed GVW are licensed under the COMMERCIAL TRANSPORT ACT rather than the Motor Vehicle Act (reg. 3.012(1)(a) turns on exactly that threshold) and carry their validation decal on the FRONT plate. The superseded @##### grammar is not given a series of its own because no source dates it.
