About this plate
THE "RIMORCHIO" PLATE, twenty years of Italian trailers, and the reason a five-digit Italian mark is not automatically a motorcycle. Distinguishing the two from the string alone is impossible; distinguishing them from the plate is trivial. Recorded so the parse API returns both candidates rather than guessing.
