As we have been watching the blue plate all the time, we would say the white plate in Europe looks nicer...nice blue plateso how much is v40 in china (quantity)?
V40 is quite rare in China. People prefer sedans and SUVs. Moreover, V40 is a pure imported car, the price is higher than the counterparts. Golf is the most popular small cars here.
I really like A 88888.
Here in UK we also have a love of VW's Golf, and at a higher price which I find odd as they really aren't that good!

I edited the photo, so 88888 is not my real plate number...
You should make it AV 88888, 8 x5 being 40
In the UK they are white at the front and yellow at the rear. This is to help drivers on dark nights identify if the car in front is facing them or not.
(In Germany they are white at both ends of the car and in the Netherlands they are both yellow)
I imagine it's actually to help more during the day rather than at night. At night the white vs red lights will be a better visual indicator.

Nice design in the UK.
In China, cars shorter than 5m have blue plates. So most cars have blue plates, except a few luxury cars, like Maybach, which are longer than 5m.
vehicles longer than 5m have yellow plates. So buses, trucks have yellow plates.
These explanations are not exactly precise, but generally true.
The design was for when cars were parked in the dark and there were no streetlights I was told. (no red or white lights then)
There is also a rule that you must not show a red light at the front of the vehicle or a white at the rear except when reversing.
(KITT would not pass a UK MOT)
I had red tinted number plate lights and an argument with the MOT tester
I've been having light related discussions in Germany with the TUV tester who insists the LED lights on my S90 need to be fitted with beam deflecting stickers (even after showing him the instructions from Volvo.DE that say they don't need to be fitted as the light beam is flat.I had red tinted number plate lights and an argument with the MOT tester
Just trying to think why it matters which direction a parked car is facing.
No idea - it is one of those things lost in the mists of time from the 1960's
the vehicle should be parked facing the flow of traffic so the rear reflectors are visible at night.
still in the code today! but so many dont bother
