## About this plate

The emergency-rescue motorcycle plate, and the one Chinese registration number that inverts the § 3.2 element order: the two-character 应急 pair leads, the province character follows it, and the force letter closes. Seven characters against the car plate's eight. Any parser that assumes "first character = province" for China is wrong exactly here, which is why the rule is spelled out on the series rather than left to the header.
