- About this plate
- ARKANSAS PERMANENT TRAILER PLATES. Included because L2 names trailer as a core class and because Arkansas's version has an actual decode in it, the prefix tells you what tows the trailer. The S/P series is recorded WITH ITS UNKNOWN MEANING rather than omitted, because a decode table with a hole in it that says "hole" is more useful than a tidy table that quietly drops the case it cannot explain.
- How long it is valid
- A permanent plate means no revalidation decal and therefore no year signal anywhere on the artefact, which is a real problem for any dating heuristic.
