What do yellow and blue license plates represent?
1 Answers
Blue license plates are for small vehicles, featuring white characters and borders on a blue background. They are issued to trucks with a total mass below 4,500 kg (excluding), vehicles carrying fewer than 20 passengers (excluding the driver), and vehicles with a body length under 6 meters (excluding). Yellow license plates are for large vehicles, with black characters on a yellow background, such as trucks over 2 tons or buses (including vans with 10 or more seats). Most commercial vehicles and motorcycles also have yellow plates. Additional information: Foreign license plates: 1. European Union: Each EU country has a different numbering system, but all plates are long and rectangular, mostly white with black characters. Some have white front plates with black characters and yellow rear plates with black characters. EU member states add a blue section on the left side of the plate. Examples include France (F), Italy (I), United Kingdom (GB), Netherlands (NL), Belgium (B), Luxembourg (L), Austria (A), Spain (E), Portugal (P), Greece (Gr), Denmark (DK), and Finland (FL). 2. United States: The earliest U.S. plates only had numbers, without designs or slogans. In 1928, Idaho became the first state to feature its famous potatoes on its plates, proudly adding "Famous Potatoes." Other states followed, leading to the current variety of designs.
