but Q is used in the previous format.
U and J are not used
in the first two letters,
but these are available for
personalised plates.
Z is used only in the random element.

The date numbers start at 51, and then
increase every March and September,
02,52,03 etc to 10,60 in 2010.

There is now a mandatory typeface
and the italic and shaded fonts
are now definitely out. Look for
the serifs on the letters B and D
to avoid confustion with 8 and 0
