The letters read exactly as on the white plate — State, office, series, number. The yellow is the code here: it marks a transport vehicle, a category of use, so the same car goes yellow the day it becomes a taxi.

## 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.
