(Sign of the State, "ovals") A-C | D-J | K-R | S-Z |
| If you drive a car across the border, you need not only a number-plate (licence-plate), but also an oval sign at the back side of the car which indicates from which country you (or your car) originate, the "Sign of the State". I would like to know all the world's car codes, so please help me.... |
