I dont get why EU made every country drop their flag
Please do not look up the Polish typeface if you know anything about typography.
It’s so ugly and breaks basic rules of design.
Turkey is like this:
ProvinceCode(34 for Istanbul), random 3 letters, random 3 numbers
Eg.
34 gay 100
I’m in France and mine is like 88-XYZ-88. It’s a new(ish) car. So.. no.
In the Netherlands we have this boring rule that there can be no vowels in them so there ‘s no dirty words. Boring.
Why Åland has unique style license plates?
Ukraine: “AA 1234 BB”, where AA is indication of a region.
Also interesting fact: letters used to be in Cyrillic, but has been changed for Latin (I assume in order to be compatible with European system)
Casually labeling Donbas and Luhansk as nation states…
Why is transnistria using a system that neither their dejure owning nation (moldova), their neighbour (Ukraine), or defact nation (russia) uses? Is this a hang up from the ussr?
Norway is wrong. It’s XX XxXxXx (two letters, then digits)
Romania: XX 12 ABC, where XX is the district code (NT, AR, IS, BR, etc) and ABC can be vowels, consonants, including I and O.
Exception is Bucharest, where is B 123 ABC.
So you speak about some legal deals and marking nonexist countries. You knkw that you will go to hell, right?
The new hungarian plate now includes a coat of arms in the middle
UK is complicated and is labelled wrong (understandable).
There are still plenty of cars driving around with Eurostars and GB on their number plates.
Most new number plates don’t have the country code at all.
And of the ones that do (usually people who have gone overseas and don’t want a sticker on their car) it’s a mix of both the yellow and orange labelled styles.
To add to the mix we also have the blue band as a green band instead on electric vehicles.
And to further complicate things the UK recently changed its country code from GB to UK (which is more correct).
Does Belgium not have those red ones anymore?
For the Channel Islands your map is wrong, the standard is blank.
For example for Guernsey the standard is a black plate with silver numbers by default, there are options to have the Guernsey flag and “GBG”/”Guernsey” on the plate along with a white background with black text but if you just ask for a number plate you’ll get the black with silver numbers.
Fun fact: Cuba and recently (south) Korea started using EU style plates. Including the blue band on the left of the plate.
It’s misleading to put Russia and Switzerland with the same colour. Russian license plates display the country code, so you can drive them in the EU without adding a country code sticker. Swiss license plates do not, and so require the sticker. I think it’s an important distinction.

(here’s a map of the african countries which use european-looking license plates)

The map misses the [Danish version](https://berlingske.bmcdn.dk/media/cache/resolve/image_x_large/image/74/743612/477148-eu-p-bilens-nummerplade–.jpg) without EU markings.
Maybe it would be considered red?
Not sure why Norway is yellow? They follow the format 100%. The lack of an euro star ring is due to not being in the EU. Using it would be misleading.
Seems logical to me to use yellow if a country is in the EU but does not use the EU symbol.
Ok, but can we make [FE-Schrift](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FE-Schrift) mandatory for all European countries? It’s just a better font and it’s anti-forgery.

I upvoted for the TurntSnaco reference
I was in India last month and there you will see lots and lots of cars on the road with EU style license plates but with IND as the country code! Yes, the blue banner with the EU Stars and IND just below! In India they’re called ‘German style plates’ – https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi/presenting-the-european-union-flag-on-delhi-s-new-number-plates/story-NYx1iFZbzQQp407cyyxvgN.html
So how does Putins dick taste?
