## About this plate

AUTHORED BECAUSE THE REGULATION NAMES THE CLASS. Number Plates Regulations s. 1(a) puts "a vehicle to bear ... antique plates" in the two-plate list, so Nova Scotia law knows the class exists and how it is displayed; everything else, the 2009 start, the L999 arrangement, the ANTIQUE AUTO side legend, is the article's. 7(1.1) states a 30-year test in the Act.
