## About this plate

MOTOR TRADE PLATES, bound to a business rather than a vehicle, the reason W is excluded from every ordinary-series alphabet. The W regime is older than AM 78-5: art. 11 abrogates AM 58-012 du 7 janvier 1958, which is named as a predecessor and was not read.

## Format notes

Art. 6, "Professionnels de l'automobile": "la lettre W suivie d'un groupe de trois chiffres au plus ou d'une lettre et deux chiffres au plus."
