Decoding Vietnamese License Plates: Letters from A to Z
“A license plate is like an ID card; every number and letter carries a meaning.” Those words from Mr. Ba, a motorbike taxi driver at Cau Giay intersection, have always stuck with me. Indeed, from the letters A, B, C… on a license plate, we can decipher many interesting things about the vehicle’s “history.” Today, let’s decode the regulations regarding letters on Vietnamese license plates with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI!
Letters on License Plates: More Than Just Regional Indicators
Many people think that the letters on a license plate simply indicate where the vehicle is registered. This is true, but not the whole story! For example, seeing a license plate 29A – xxx.xx, we immediately know the vehicle is from Hanoi.
