## About this plate

It is not a type in § 2's list and gets no row in Lisa 1 and no näidis in Lisa 3, it exists only as the one-sentence § 7(1) EXCEPTION, which recolours whatever mark the vehicle would otherwise carry. Its dimensions and band are inherited from A1 and are a RECORDED INFERENCE: the instrument does not restate them for this variant.
