Format, years and the law

Format
999999, for example 945748 (9 any digit)

Same grammar as the small plate, heavier ranges: 70 to 79 is a bus or van, 80 to 97 a goods vehicle, 98 to 99 special equipment, with the syllable still drawn from the private-use set. A private four-tonne truck wears this seven-character decode to this day.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.
