## About this plate

VIRGINIA TRAILER AND SEMITRAILER. The interesting content is not the serial, which is unsourced, but two statutory design facts that most plate datasets never model: the anti-removal construction authorisation in § 46.2-711(A), and the PERMANENT, decal-free, expiry-free plate in § 46.2-712(B).
