About this plate
A GENUINELY UNUSUAL CLASS, and the reason it is authored: the C plate is the only Québec series whose LEGAL EFFECT is a road restriction rather than a fee band. Art. 124 covers vehicles in localities not connected to the general Québec road network, a real Québec geography problem, and arts. 136-137 cover farm tractors and artisan-built vehicles. The restriction text above is primary. The arrangement is the article's.
