## About this plate

THE UNBANDED MOTORCYCLE PLATE. Same mark, same 2008 inversion, no blue band, and, uniquely in the Finnish system, the design offers a SECOND GEOMETRY: the 118 x 280 low single-row plate, which is where the hyphen reappears on an L-class mark.

## Separators

no hyphen on the 200 x 165 two-row plate; hyphen REQUIRED on the 118 x 280 low plate (määräys § 3.3.2)
