- About this plate
- THE PRE-HSRP TRANSPORT PLATE, the yellow one. Identical mark, identical composition, different colour, and the colour is a class of USE: "transport vehicle" is an MVA § 2(47) category (goods carriage, stage carriage, contract carriage, educational institution bus and so on), so a privately-owned car used as a taxi carries yellow while the same model in private hands carries white.
