About this plate
THE GULPLADE. Yellow ground, black characters, BLACK border, the border colour is the quickest way to tell a Danish commercial plate from a private one at a distance, and it is the third word in SKAT's colour cell. The plate marks a REGISTERED USE, not a body type: the same van is a yellow-plate vehicle, a parrot-plate vehicle or neither depending on what it was registered for. Danish enforcement of the "private use is illegal" rule is what the CVR-marking duty in § 85 exists to support.
