## About this plate

THE SQUARE CAR PLATE, a DIFFERENT FORMAT, not merely a smaller plate, which is why it is its own series: two digits and three letters against A1's three and three.

## Separators

NO gap is drawn between the groups on A3: näidis 3 shows "17ELH" set solid, with the digit field 74 max and the letter field 134 max separated by only the 10 mm field margins. The pattern therefore spells no separator at all, the one Estonian ordinary plate that does not.
