I saw the Y number plate for the first time

Alphabet Y on the plate number

At one point, when I was running, the number of the car in front was a little different from normal, so I was asked "that?". Yes, there is an alphabet on the license plate.

The license plates of my two cars are also in the alphabet

Recently, the license plate has an alphabet, so my Ferrari and Porsche 911 GT3 license plates also have an alphabet.

However, the license plate with the alphabet usually looks like this, and the alphabet is in the xxx part such as so-called "Shinagawa xxx" ... ↓

In this car I encountered this time, this "ma", which is usually hiragana, such as "Shinagawa xxx ma xxx", was in the alphabet.

If this normal hiragana character part is an alphabet, the font will feel bigger and stand out. I insist on "Y" as much as I can!

I was very interested in this "Y on the license plate", so I looked it up.

Y is a private car of a person who is not Japanese national and is exempt from customs duty or consumption tax

Then.Road Transport Vehicle Law Enforcement RegulationsThere is such a description in.

The number written in the yellow frame is "ABEHKMTY"

And that. Well, it's kind of difficult, but when I searched on Google, there were other people who kindly wrote it, that is, most of the Y numbers are "U.S. military related people in Japan". It is often a car. " I see.

I felt that there were a lot of people saying "yo", but in reality, it was hiragana that wasn't given much in general. I did not know!

It seems that you can not meet easily, but in the future, I will look for such a miracle "yo" ^ ^
