About this plate
KONTROLLSCHILD FÜR HINTERE LASTENTRÄGER, the red repeater plate for a rear-mounted load carrier (a bicycle rack or similar) that obscures the real plate. Its validity is CONDITIONAL, and the ordinance says so in terms: Art. 71 Abs. 4, "Das Kontrollschild für hintere Lastenträger nach Abs. 1 Bst. g ist nur gültig, wenn es zusammen mit den zwei am Motorwagen angebrachten schwarzen Kontrollschildern nach Abs. 1 Bst. a verwendet wird."
About its years
The amending ordinance is dated 5 October 2021 and was published 8 October 2021. Its commencement article splits: "1) Diese Verordnung tritt vorbehaltlich Abs. 2 am 1. November 2021 in Kraft. 2) Art. 69 Abs. 6, Art. 71 Abs. 1 Bst. g und Abs. 4 sowie Art. 72 Abs. 3 Bst. d treten am 1. März 2022 in Kraft." The PLATE provisions are in subsection 2. So the series starts 1 March 2022, not on the signature date, not on the publication date, and not on the instrument's general commencement date, all three of which fall in 2021. Three plausible wrong answers, one right one, and only the instrument distinguishes them.
