About this plate
THE MOPED PLATE, the smallest Finnish plate and the only white one that never carries the blue band, because § 16(1)(2) grants the sign to a closed list of L classes that excludes L1e and L6e. Shares the 110 x 124 geometry exactly with the snowmobile plate, which is yellow; on a Finnish 110 x 124 plate the GROUND COLOUR is the only thing distinguishing a moped from a snowmobile, since the mark grammar is the same digits-then-letters shape. Carries the file's one internal-contradiction flag on character height.
Separators
the 110 x 124 plate is two-row and the hyphen is forbidden (määräys § 3.4)
