## About this plate

THE WEST VIRGINIA SPECIALTY PROGRAM INDEX, and the honest report is that it is thin. West Virginia publishes galleries, not a list, and no count. Rather than borrow a number from an enthusiast site, this entry records the four official categories, the Class A scoping, the certification rule, and the ONE mechanical route to a real count that was actually observed: each programme has its own numbered DMV-54 application form, so enumerating the DMV form index yields a programme list from a first-party source. That is the L4 instruction for this state.
