most common foreign licenseplates (except summertime)

PL, EST, LV

[joshsam]

No pics but license plates you can see in the region of Belgium I live.

The obvious: Germany, The Netherlands, France

Poland : A lot of polish people work in plantations in my region. They come work here for a few months and then return, made good money when compaired to what they earn in Poland. But no-one here wants those jobs because overhere those kind of wages are worth nothing.

Bulgaria: I have no Idea

Lithuania: Last two years I saw many plates of Lithuania, they might be replacing the Poles who are getting richer and don't need those low income jobs here either...

True ! in the 90's many polish seasonal workers came to Sweden to pick blueberries and raspberries in the woods.

Now they come as skilled craftsmen, mostly carpenters and masons.

The berries in the woods still need to be picked but this grim job is now done by thai people. They often get scammed to !

Drammen non-summer:
1: Poland
2: Sweden
3: Lithuania
4: Latvia (quite a resent development)

These has in common to be labour migrants. Then the gap to next one on the list is large.

[Paginadetodos]

The most common in Asturias are from: France, Portugal and some from Italy.
But in summer there are more from France, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom, some from Switzerland, some from Poland, some from Romania and no more.

The reason that there are so many DK cars on my list is because my trip to Malmö 3rd november. I saw almost 100 DK cars.

[Helvetics]

In Crans-Montana, you have many tourists. The most common are:

Italy
France
Germany
Portugal (but they aren't tourists, they live here)
Belgium
United Kingdom
Netherlands
Luxembourg
Spain
Poland
Russian (they would be numerous, you find many Russian translations into the shops, the website has even been translated in Russian! But I don't see very often Russian plates...)

In winter, it changes with the resort:
In Crans-Montana, allways Italians
In Verbier, many British
In Veysonnaz, many Dutsh
In Vercorin, many Belgians
In Morgins, many French (because Morgins ist very close to the French border)
In Leukerbad, Saas-Fee, many Germans (because they speak German too; in the others, they speak French)

Trucks:

• Bulgaria

I suppose also there are a lot of Ukrainian and Polish trucks too, because they pass through Bulgaria and north, they can not bypass Romania

Indeed, there are trucks from UA and PL around here...

[GROBIN]

In the Île-de-France region, most common license plates:
1) P - Portugal
2) PL - Poland (if you see plates from the Podkarpackie voivodship, 90% live here. But if you see plates - for instance - from Warsaw or Kraków - those are tourists)
3) RO - Romania (lots of "MM" - what city is that ?)
4) BG - Bulgaria
5) GB - The United Kingdom
6) B - Belgium
7) NL - The Netherlands
8) I -Italy
9 ) D - Germany (especially S-class Mercedes-Benz on the Champs-Élysées on Friday evenings, with "HH" license plates ... Hamburg ?)
10) TR - Turkey (especially trucks)
11) LT - Lithuania (especially trucks)
12) SRB - Serbia (especially vans)
13) CZ - Czech Republic
14) SK - Slovakia (especially trucks)
15) E - Spain
16) CH - Switzerland (especially in Paris, less in the outskirts)

Near my hometown in the outskirts of Paris, I often spot Iranian license-plates (only on trucks).

Maramureș district, Baia Mare is the main town

9 ) D - Germany (especially S-class Mercedes-Benz on the Champs-Élysées on Friday evenings, with "HH" license plates ... Hamburg ?)

Yes, HH is Hamburg, but probabily they are rental cars

On the other hand, when I was during the summer in Maramures county I noticed that maybe 10% of the cars there were registered in Spain. So we're even

[GROBIN]

I see a lot of Spaniards each time I go to Warsaw & Kraków (Poland). I even notice at least once every half-a-week Portuguese license plates (only in summer) in Poland. But I already told about it a couple of time ago in the "Strangest & most distant plates ... in your area" ...

Most Polish license plates I see here in the Paris region (not counting trucks) are: RMI (Mielec), RKO (Kolbuszowa), RSA (Sanok), RZ (Rzeszów), RZE (the outskirts of Rzeszów) and RJS (Jasło).

But lately, I've seen (in Paris, not in the outskirts), some plates I usually see only during summertime. & the same day!
- an old (end of 90s) Opel Corsa 1.2 with SC (Częstochowa)
- a brand new Mercedes-Benz GL500 (carrying a family) with WB (Bemowo district in Warsaw)
- a Mercedes-Benz C-class (about 5 year-old) with WI (Śródmieście/Central district of Warsaw)
- a 2003-2004 Opel Zafira OPC like mine with WU (Ochota district in Warsaw)

Romanian cars I see are mostly ... Dacia Logan & Dacia Sandero. But there are also others.

Portuguese cars I see are mostly small city cars with small engines like Opel Corsas, but also 4x4 pickups like Mitsubishi L200. Mostly in the outskirts of Paris, just as Bulgarian plates, whereas Romanians & Poles are mostly seen in inner Paris...

[Dahlis]

Here in Stockholm it varies depending on season. In the summer its mostly Germans and any other time of the year its Polish or Estonian.
