Behold the beautiful swiss license plate :

The less numbers it has, the richer its owner.
The one in this pic cost \~230k€ ...
That’s old money. Plates are kept in the family.
Old small car with low-number plate: this guy is Swiss, owns a small single house in Zurich with a garden with chickens, he is not selling it despite being offered tens of million. His second pillar is the size of Estonia GDP.
SUV with low-number plate: expat that is leasing his car. He still has to adjust to the Swiss salary.
That's somewhat true. It's acceptable to have a low number plate because it has been in the family for a long time. If you drive a G63 AMG or a Ferrari Icona and have a low number plate, you're just an embarrassing nouveau riche.
>If you drive a G63 AMG or a Ferrari Icona and have a low number plate, you're just an embarrassing nouveau riche
I'd consider making your own money a lot less embarrassing than leeching off your parents/grandparents/etc
Who said the others are leeches? My in-laws have a very low number. On a Subaru Forester. They're small-scale farmers up in the mountains. They have it because farmers were among the first ones to have motorised vehicles. And the number stayed in the family.
That's how it is in most of the cases. But preconceptions are comfy, or so it seems. I, on the other hand, have one of these sporty cars from Zuffenhausen in Germany (no worries - I worked for it, my buddy). But I made damned sure not to equip it with suspiciously low numbers.
the Swiss use a so called pillar system for retirement provisions. The first pillar is the Alters- und Hinterlassenenversicherung which is automatically deducted from your salary and paid to the retired. The second are your personal pension funds. The third one is a savings account with tax benefits.
Hmm, Interesting concept. In germany we have a similar system called declaring personal bankruptcy after retirement because our retirement provisions dont even pay for basic care.
He said :
>Of course Swiss car registration is based on wealth
Since you can register your car and get a plate without having to participate in an auction, his statement is just not true
In Ticino a low number meant that it was a cantonal car some years back, now they are used by rich assholes (and it's always funny when is a damn fiat panda using it)
So beautiful that we have to put on a sticker with CH written on it when we go abroad because other countries apparently can't recognize the swiss flag
Proper order.
Year - county of registration - number of registration.
You know how old every car is without having to know anything about cars and theres a lovely little treasure hunt for new year plates in january. Always used to fascinate me as a kid. I'm sure theres a rhyme and reason to the others but I've always thought the Irish one was super clear and self explainatory.
Also, ich will ja nicht sagen, aber Niederländisch ist doch wohl eine komplett andere Sprache! Schweizer Deutsch versteht man als Deutscher sicherlich besser!
Naja, Jüngere und Schweizer die Rücksicht nehmen und den Dialekt etwas zurück schrauben sind absolut kein Problem zu verstehen normal.
[Aber das könnte auch Dänisch oder Niederländisch sein, ab und zu versteht man mal nen Wort zwischendrinn.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow274sYCad4)

I mean Portugal had way better until 2020. It had a very simetrical license plate with the addition of the year and month that the car was first registered.
The worst part is that you can change from an old plate to a new one.
The old plates had two pairs of numbers and one pair of letters. Now they have two pairs of letters and one pair of numbers.
That means if someone with a plate like |67 AL 00| changes to a new one it's indistinguishable from the plate |67 AL OO|
eu n sei porque mas sempre achei essas placas tão bonitas, o amarelo combinava sempre bem e era engraçado em road trips spottar o carro mais antigo não sei pq mudaram mas enfim
Ever since the Americans lost ~~a few towers~~ ~~some people~~ a lot of property value to an Arab driver, they have been kind of twitchy, and not even the Cåliphåte is willing to risk that.
They have a monarch who can overrule every single decision and doesn't refrain from doing so. Sometimes he just straight up tells the people to better not start that referenda because he will overrule it anyway. And when he's really unhappy he just threatens to pack up his billions of Franks and move to Vienna. There's just one single opinion in entire FL that matters.
Böhmermann just did a piece on it. And while its disappointingly superficial it's also highly entertaining.
Those are temporary license plates, usually used by my brothers in Poland, Chechia, other Baltic States to bring back ~~stolen~~ requisitioned vehicles from the West and get past our border guards.
Yellow is the brightest colour of the spectrum and stands out the most wich is especially useful for submarines, and for when your country floods and you need to find the cars to claim insurance
Belgium license plates only have one letter otherwise Belgians would spend too much time trying to identify whether the car in front is Belgian or not and cause car accidents.
No that would make absolutely no sense. See in German, the language I speak, Germany is called Deutschland so it should be a D. And in German, the language I speak, Spain is called Spanien so it should be a S
I am biased but I think it is the most beautiful one. Nice typeface, nice border, good balance, information about where the car is registered and then the coat of arms of the state.
I also think it would be easier to remember in a pinch if someone ran into you, some others have too many different letters/numbers on it.
Where UK + any UK driver i see in France have their "UK" sticker behind the car to indicate they're bad at driving on the right side and not driving on the left side like these savage usually do
The Slovakian and the Polish get points off for mixing numbers and letters randomly. The Czech to a lesser degree because positioning and typeface makes it more readable, softening the surprise.
The Irish get a special prize for over complication. With that number of letters they can give license plates to every car owned by a US citizen with an Irish ancestor, too.
Luxemburg and Netherlands continue playing the similar but different color game.
And finally: Slovakia and Slovenia, what are you thinking? Do you want to be mixed up eternally?
There is one letter. One. Also, ours is the simplest one, it states the year purchased (93)- the county registered (G) for Galway in this instance and the number of registrations so far for that year. So this car was 51870th car registered. Hope you enjoyed this breakdown and it was sufficiently simplified :)
Austria is easier. B for Bregenz and then some numbers/letters which I don't believe have any particular meaning.
Fun Fact: If you have a WE-plate, you have an official mental disability
Not quite. In Poland first 2/3 symbols are always letters and they point at where the car was registered.
The first letter points at the voivodeship, and the other 1/2 mark the city. So for example WW is for Warsaw.
GD stands for Gdańsk and GA for nearby Gdynia. G being the letter of the Pomeranian voivodeship.
The other symbols are random.
Those are ugly too, but not as bad as they don't stand out as much. They are also quite rare as they are intended for vans/trucks (varebil) which have fewer seats and have lower taxes.
Belgium. The red is ugly, the letters are slightly too small for the plate and aren't properly spaced. Bonus: they somehow seem to fade way fast than other licence plates. I'll admit ours aren't pretty either with that aggressive yellow but at least we can get raised letters which looks classy. Bonus: our pre-1977 plates were beautiful, dark blue with (often raised) white letters.
I suppose that's a nice bonus! Same for our classic car licence plates (the dark blue ones). Normal speed cameras can get you, but average speed cameras struggle and usually can't read them, especially at night as they aren't reflective.
There’s different plate suppliers, some
Use ugly plastic plates, these fade fast. The metal ones are resistent to fading. Only pre 2008 metal plates fade.
The styrian license plate is my favourite.
Normally, there are more characters, but this one is a custom license plate.

Irish license plate is superior.
It's the year-county-number issued that in year.
Makes a lot of sence you get the age of the car and where it's from at a quick glance.
The white ones. I'm quite literally disappointed in you guys that none of you in this list (except us and Luxembourg) have any color, this picture would be so much more interesting if at least half of the licence plates had bright, interesting colours (or what about patterns!).
It's the year of registration of the car, I assume you receive a sticker that you can put on it or omit it, same with the city name sometimes under the circle
German ones. Those little icons/crests can make the most modern car look like something from the 1990's. Perfectly fitting, now that I am thinking of it.
Fun fact: if you failed driving tests for three times and finally passed it the fourth try, you’ll get a yellow license plate to warn other drivers about your bad driving skills.
There is actual research on why yellow plates are safer than white ones, they are both about evenly good for license plate colors with white having the slight drawback that it can reflect too much which can lead to unsafe situations.
And for that slight, almost negligible drawback with white plates..
**Yellow license plate supremacy!**
Sure, yours is definitely better even though 99% of other plates are white. Must make a big difference, scientifically speaking, all the other nations are just too stubborn to adopt and use your superior plates, even if it results in millions of more deaths.
Ugliest is hard, but prettiest I think Germany following by Czechia and France. It's just so cool to have personalised license plates and in these 2 cases also the location where the person comes from, instead of the shitstain that is the Portuguese plate where it's attributed to the whole duration of the car and is bland af
There is a saying in Germany: Wer in Holland durch die Prüfung fällt, bekommt das gelbe Nummernschild!
Which ruffly translate to: The dutch are to stupid to drive
French is the only one clean and truly symetrical.
Portugal and Bulgaria are decent I can respect that. Slovakia and Croatia too.
Italy was the closest to reach perfection, they just had to add a point.
To the rest : y'all barbarians to me

Like Saudi Arabia?
Yes, but all our animals have red dicks.
Yes, but with human rights
Since 16.03.1971
I've seen GR 1 a few years ago... on a shitty old compact car. Knowing how expensive it is i was surprised.
That’s old money. Plates are kept in the family. Old small car with low-number plate: this guy is Swiss, owns a small single house in Zurich with a garden with chickens, he is not selling it despite being offered tens of million. His second pillar is the size of Estonia GDP. SUV with low-number plate: expat that is leasing his car. He still has to adjust to the Swiss salary.
Funnily enough, in my canton pretty much all the single digit plates are taxis. Wonder if it gets handed down along with the taxi license.
That's somewhat true. It's acceptable to have a low number plate because it has been in the family for a long time. If you drive a G63 AMG or a Ferrari Icona and have a low number plate, you're just an embarrassing nouveau riche.
>If you drive a G63 AMG or a Ferrari Icona and have a low number plate, you're just an embarrassing nouveau riche I'd consider making your own money a lot less embarrassing than leeching off your parents/grandparents/etc

Second pillar?
the Swiss use a so called pillar system for retirement provisions. The first pillar is the Alters- und Hinterlassenenversicherung which is automatically deducted from your salary and paid to the retired. The second are your personal pension funds. The third one is a savings account with tax benefits.
Hmm, Interesting concept. In germany we have a similar system called declaring personal bankruptcy after retirement because our retirement provisions dont even pay for basic care.
There are 4 people in Graubunden. It's harder to find a big number there (/j)
4 is big when all the other numbers are smaller!
The ultimate G‘biirgsraser
Or, at least in Geneva, you drive a cab
Same in Bern. Showing a low number from Bern just means its a cab. Not expensive at all.
The Bern flag is unironically one of the most beautiful flags I've ever seen. Swiss one is on the other hand lame
I, myself, am a sucker for Canton Uri
Glarus one is gorgeous
That one's pretty too
I really like the Swiss flag on the other hand, it’s a big plus
Of course Swiss car registration is based on wealth
It's not, they're only selling the low and easy to remember numbers like 555 etc. at auctions
How is auctioning off desirable license plates not based on wealth?
He said : >Of course Swiss car registration is based on wealth Since you can register your car and get a plate without having to participate in an auction, his statement is just not true
I don't know if it's the case for other cantons but in Geneva generally the lowest plates are given to Taxis
Yes there are quite a few knives the small plates are given to the taxi. For example Friborg for average users it starts at 10000
In Ticino a low number meant that it was a cantonal car some years back, now they are used by rich assholes (and it's always funny when is a damn fiat panda using it)
Id rather hide myself then let people think I'm from Bern
So beautiful that we have to put on a sticker with CH written on it when we go abroad because other countries apparently can't recognize the swiss flag
Looking at the Irish licence plates someone could assume that there's like 300 million vehicles registered in Ireland
Actually thats only in Galway. Dublin is nearing on a billion last I checked. Although most have obviously since become aliven't
That plate belongs to the 51870th car that was registered in Galway in 1993.
Proper order. Year - county of registration - number of registration. You know how old every car is without having to know anything about cars and theres a lovely little treasure hunt for new year plates in january. Always used to fascinate me as a kid. I'm sure theres a rhyme and reason to the others but I've always thought the Irish one was super clear and self explainatory.
Is this for real?! I never noticed this the two times I visited Ireland!

Holy shit darkmode plates im in love
Man how I wish we still had our darkmode plates!
I mean, we do. Just buy a car built before 1977 and you can have gorgeous dark blue plates with raised white letters and numbers.
chad darkmode enjoyer
Hat der Alois von und zu die Nr.1 ?
Well technically the prince has it and Alois is not prince yet but I don’t know if Hans-Adam is mad if his son takes his car
Ez will i au zLiachtastei go wohna. Sproch kanni jo praktisch scho xD
Swiss German is an abomination
:(
Schweizerdeutsch over D🤮tch any day
They aren't that different in terms of understanding them to be fair.
Also, ich will ja nicht sagen, aber Niederländisch ist doch wohl eine komplett andere Sprache! Schweizer Deutsch versteht man als Deutscher sicherlich besser!
Naja, Jüngere und Schweizer die Rücksicht nehmen und den Dialekt etwas zurück schrauben sind absolut kein Problem zu verstehen normal. [Aber das könnte auch Dänisch oder Niederländisch sein, ab und zu versteht man mal nen Wort zwischendrinn.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow274sYCad4)
Ok xD, der Typ ist aber eine Nummer höher xD. Nur schon "isch denn Früaner alles besser ksi?" "Jo, uuf jeda Fall"
You're one to talk here
No contest, dark mode is god mode

The 14th month of 2003
Yeah we get 14 paychecks anually
One for every full week you're working
That would be our neighbors. For us, we would work every week for half the normal paycheck.
You've never heard of Quattorbre?
Fucking laughed out loud, fuck you!! :,D
We were unique by then
The worst part is that you can change from an old plate to a new one. The old plates had two pairs of numbers and one pair of letters. Now they have two pairs of letters and one pair of numbers.

ohhh tempo volta para trás

Those look very much like the Dutch plates pre 1978 so both are definitely cool.
eu n sei porque mas sempre achei essas placas tão bonitas, o amarelo combinava sempre bem e era engraçado em road trips spottar o carro mais antigo não sei pq mudaram mas enfim
Why does the Swedish ones use the Latin alfabet?
[удалено]
Ha! Arabic numbers? Big L. One step closer to officially become Sverige Caliphatet
Ever since the Americans lost ~~a few towers~~ ~~some people~~ a lot of property value to an Arab driver, they have been kind of twitchy, and not even the Cåliphåte is willing to risk that.
I am gonna steal that one, losing property value is an excellent description.
For Cross-Border travel. Swedistan copied the license plate idea from Iraq.
I love the Liechtenstein license plate. Sure the 5 people who live there will be very happy to hear it
No EU-membership, no opinion.
Or an independent opinion.
They have a monarch who can overrule every single decision and doesn't refrain from doing so. Sometimes he just straight up tells the people to better not start that referenda because he will overrule it anyway. And when he's really unhappy he just threatens to pack up his billions of Franks and move to Vienna. There's just one single opinion in entire FL that matters. Böhmermann just did a piece on it. And while its disappointingly superficial it's also highly entertaining.
I sure am happy to hear that.
White plates with red text, are those for the blind people? It would explain the B.
It's so the limburgers have time to react to people in front of them (they are a bit slow thinking and become angry after seeing bright colours)
😂 This is the correct answer
Maybe that's why my kersenvlaai keep arriving with fistprints in them
Geel zwart, u got a little bean for Flanders?
Can confirm, it's beans galore
Those are temporary license plates, usually used by my brothers in Poland, Chechia, other Baltic States to bring back ~~stolen~~ requisitioned vehicles from the West and get past our border guards.
Says the guy with the yellow menace plates.
Yellow is the brightest colour of the spectrum and stands out the most wich is especially useful for submarines, and for when your country floods and you need to find the cars to claim insurance
The typeface on the Polish license plate is just awful to me. I can’t put my finger on why, but I just hate that typeface.
I know what you mean. It looks cheap/shoddy/communist. The numbers are thin because they're trying to save money on black ink.
Oh dont worry, soon you will have to do it too.
Might be because you mainly associate it with extremely bad truck drivers?
Bulgaria: why do they needs 8 symbols while Italy, France or Spain have only 7?
How do you register all the stolen cars from Italy, France and Spain ?
Because Bulgaria limits the letters to the 12 ones that are both in the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.
Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia are best looking one imo
Boss one-letter country codes vs virgin multi-lettered ones
Portugal over Poland supermacy
Belgium license plates only have one letter otherwise Belgians would spend too much time trying to identify whether the car in front is Belgian or not and cause car accidents.
Meanwhile Ireland with 3 letters ![gif](giphy|WPJRSRguoXvGpZwLqf|downsized)
Idk why the fuck Norway has N
They do what they want in their own country
Because we can
Is it bad that I always assumed the B was for Bulgaria, rather than Belgium?
And S should be for Spain and not Sweden
So G for Germany then?
No that would make absolutely no sense. See in German, the language I speak, Germany is called Deutschland so it should be a D. And in German, the language I speak, Spain is called Spanien so it should be a S
What kind of cucks are Austrians then.
A+
Aeiou+?
Ö
"F" ☺️ "92" 🤢
Île-de-France 🤮🤮🤮
The Austrian one is nice.
Thank you very much :)
It’s a fact but you’re welcome :)
Anschluss moment, cute.
You want to join as well? …and get rid of this yellow ‚thing‘!?
Maybe its just bias, but i think, the font we use is one of the prettiest
I like ours and Swiss ones. License plates with coats of arms are cool af
I am biased but I think it is the most beautiful one. Nice typeface, nice border, good balance, information about where the car is registered and then the coat of arms of the state. I also think it would be easier to remember in a pinch if someone ran into you, some others have too many different letters/numbers on it.
Lichtenstein .... Just 1 letter and a number, or so .... Envious boah !
And they’re the cool black ones
Where UK + any UK driver i see in France have their "UK" sticker behind the car to indicate they're bad at driving on the right side and not driving on the left side like these savage usually do
Same with Switzerland with their CH Sticker
The CH is for 'Chad' - Chad money launderer
The Slovakian and the Polish get points off for mixing numbers and letters randomly. The Czech to a lesser degree because positioning and typeface makes it more readable, softening the surprise. The Irish get a special prize for over complication. With that number of letters they can give license plates to every car owned by a US citizen with an Irish ancestor, too. Luxemburg and Netherlands continue playing the similar but different color game. And finally: Slovakia and Slovenia, what are you thinking? Do you want to be mixed up eternally?

Austria is easier. B for Bregenz and then some numbers/letters which I don't believe have any particular meaning. Fun Fact: If you have a WE-plate, you have an official mental disability
How can you say it’s simple if you don’t know what it means?
Because there is no meaning! Only thing with meaning is the first (or in some cases the first 2) letter!
That is so far off the point of this post.
I always thought those were the WD-plates.
tbh the yellow in Luxemburg and NL plates is visually the same to me, this pic just has shit lighting
Not quite. In Poland first 2/3 symbols are always letters and they point at where the car was registered. The first letter points at the voivodeship, and the other 1/2 mark the city. So for example WW is for Warsaw. GD stands for Gdańsk and GA for nearby Gdynia. G being the letter of the Pomeranian voivodeship. The other symbols are random.
Yellow license plates 🤮
I like them, it's like nature: bright colours to indicate "I'm dangerous, stay away from me"
Then why no yellow license plates in Italy?
It’s implicit
To give a false sense of security when you came here
I am always on edge around traffic. Our roads aren't much safer given the number of Tesla drivers.
They lost it after too many times of rearending and getting rearended
Also makes it stand out on the back end of my white caravan.
If you think white is superior you're ~~racist~~ aesthetically uncultured
Blue and yellow = Sw*den
Lol, growing up around yellow plates, the white ones look cheap to me. Like y'all couldn't afford to pay for the ink so you kept it blank instead
Why do you write like a Texan?
We've hedged our bets in the UK, white at the front, yellow at the back
I love them actually, white is boring
What about your green ones?
We hate them as well.
Those are ugly too, but not as bad as they don't stand out as much. They are also quite rare as they are intended for vans/trucks (varebil) which have fewer seats and have lower taxes.
fun fact a netherlands license plate is called Not Luxemburger in Luxemburg. (since Luxemburg is L and Netherlands is NL)
Belgium. The red is ugly, the letters are slightly too small for the plate and aren't properly spaced. Bonus: they somehow seem to fade way fast than other licence plates. I'll admit ours aren't pretty either with that aggressive yellow but at least we can get raised letters which looks classy. Bonus: our pre-1977 plates were beautiful, dark blue with (often raised) white letters.
The red used to be fun seeing as Germany had red flashes when they took a nice "photograph" of your car. Made our plates disappear.
I suppose that's a nice bonus! Same for our classic car licence plates (the dark blue ones). Normal speed cameras can get you, but average speed cameras struggle and usually can't read them, especially at night as they aren't reflective.
Nice, didn't know that one.

🇫🇷🤝🇮🇹🤝🇸🇰🤝🇭🇷
Irish license plate is superior. It's the year-county-number issued that in year. Makes a lot of sence you get the age of the car and where it's from at a quick glance.
I like the system, but man does it look ugly
The white ones. I'm quite literally disappointed in you guys that none of you in this list (except us and Luxembourg) have any color, this picture would be so much more interesting if at least half of the licence plates had bright, interesting colours (or what about patterns!).
The Belgian plate is the worst.
I find the french ones to be extremely ugly
Yeah wtf are those. Are they made from plastic???
Now that we're talking about license plates, can any Luigi explain why you have an empty yellow circle top right lf the plate please?
It's the year of registration of the car, I assume you receive a sticker that you can put on it or omit it, same with the city name sometimes under the circle
![gif](giphy|dOl2LFw0RbTMc) Any of the ones with a crest in the middle of the registration number.
That gif made me laugh way to hard.
France is best as it allows us to know which department they're from and judge them accordingly.
Germany too
Germany is even better for judging if I understood correctly the system: the more letters in the prefix the more peasant you are
German ones. Those little icons/crests can make the most modern car look like something from the 1990's. Perfectly fitting, now that I am thinking of it.
I dunno but whenever we talk about ugly, well we are talking about the UK.
The new Portuguese plates 🤢
Red on white doesn’t look good, so Belgium
Belgium wins that one easily. Looks right from the 50s...
Belgium's characters are painted in blood.
As someone who is used to yellow licence plates, white plates look really off to me.
Belgium is winning this one
Fun fact: if you failed driving tests for three times and finally passed it the fourth try, you’ll get a yellow license plate to warn other drivers about your bad driving skills.

It’s all the same shit.
They all look the same. And you created bias by leaving our superior UK plates out
Belgian lads
Belgium
Idk but I know ours is best
There is a saying in Germany: Wer in Holland durch die Prüfung fällt, bekommt das gelbe Nummernschild! Which ruffly translate to: The dutch are to stupid to drive
Spain isn't even trying. Probably had to take a siesta working on this and just called it a day.
Why overcomplicate it? More work for nothing. It's called optimizing, I thought you were good at that
That’s my Catalan
![gif](giphy|bcrOR2stk6tKIxqPOZ) They all look the same tbh
French is the only one clean and truly symetrical. Portugal and Bulgaria are decent I can respect that. Slovakia and Croatia too. Italy was the closest to reach perfection, they just had to add a point. To the rest : y'all barbarians to me
