^ New plates are cool:

Today in A2 (Poland) I have seen plates from Guersney.

Verso · July 24th, 2009, 09:05 PM

Crown dependencies taking over the continent.

***ChrisZwolle*** · July 24th, 2009, 09:07 PM

Many people think those are Gibraltar plates, because Gibraltar also starts with a "G". But I believe Gibraltar has GBZ.

Morsue · July 24th, 2009, 11:29 PM

Correct. Gibraltar ones are yellow and have the GBZ country code.

^ I've seen a black Gibraltar plate. It was probably old.

Morsue · July 25th, 2009, 01:52 AM

I see black Polish plates all the time when I'm passing through Germany.

Verso · July 25th, 2009, 02:02 AM

I haven't seen a black (old) Polish plate in a while.

Yesterday I've travelled from the town of Szombathely in Western Hungary to Budapest, on main roads 86 and 85, and motorway M1. I've seen the following plates:

A (cars, trucks), AZ (!) (one truck, no photo unfortunately), B (1 truck), BG (cars, trailers packed with used cars, trucks), BIH (1 truck), CH (few cars), CZ (cars, trucks), D (mostly cars and few trucks, coaches), DK (cars), EST (1 truck), F (2 cars), GB (cars), H (of course), HR (cars, trucks), I (cars and 1 truck), LT (trucks), LV (few trucks), MD (few cars, trailers with used cars), MK (1 truck), NL (cars, most of them caravans

), PL (loads of trucks, cars), RO (many trucks, trailers with used cars, cars), RUS (some trucks), SK (cars, trucks), SLO (cars, trucks), SRB (1 truck, cars), TR (trucks), UA (trucks, few cars)

That was all

Azerbaijan

I have never seen an Azeri truck or car though. I wonder how they get to Europe... Via Russia? Dangerous territories in Dagestan. I doubt if the route via Turkey is possible, I thought borders between Armenia/Georgia and Turkey are closed? Maybe they drive via Iran and then Turkey.

I saw two red sports cars with Kuwaiti plates on the A10 Tauernautobahn early this morning. (3-4am)

Verso · July 26th, 2009, 06:52 PM

I wonder, if it's tax evasion; I saw it here once.

toowise · July 26th, 2009, 10:34 PM

This is my first posting so "Hi everyone and great site"

In my town in Cheshire,England we have the following foreign registered vehicles, mostly owned by overseas workers.

Poland (lots of these)

Latvia

Lithuania

Bulgaria

Estonia

I have also seen a Toyota Hiace camper conversion from South Africa on a campsite near Venice,Italy.

I also used to drive a truck throughout Europe as far as Turkey, Russia, and North Africa so have probably been spotted myself,

Travelling from Moscow to Polish border at Brest ,

Stopped for speeding (90 kph on road with 70kph limit)

Cop was driving an old Lada handpainted green
