## About this plate

Authored because the all-numeric six-digit body after a fixed L is genuinely distinctive and because the two Canadian provinces that reserve L for trucks (New Brunswick and Québec) produce COLLIDING strings, L123456 is a valid shape in both, which a parse API must be told rather than left to discover.
