## About this plate

So a Finnish plate reading 123-ABC on a motorcycle cannot predate June 2008, while ABC-123 on a motorcycle cannot POST-date it except as an erityistunnus (Traficom permits an L-class special mark "toisinpäin").

## Separators

The 200 x 165 plate is TWO-ROW and the määräys § 3.3.1 forbids the hyphen outright ("Kirjainten ja numeroiden välissä ei saa olla väliviivaa"); Traficom's own gallery accordingly shows "10 TRF".
