Romania license plate, Probe (documented since 2006), sample HC 766

Format, years and the law

Format
LL 999, for example HC 766 (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it.

Years issued
Documented since 2006; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Dealer: trade/garage plates bound to a business, not a vehicle. Issued for car, van, truck, bus, motorcycle, and trailer.
Colours
Characters #CE1126 Background #FFFFFF
About its years
The instrument's year, not a first issue.
About the format
Three digits reported to begin at 101, which is a starting POINT and not a grammar, this file does not encode "at least 101" because it cannot source an upper bound or a wrap rule.
