Click on each country and see for yourselves. It’s a Dutchman from those Netherlands that has put together a great website of European license plate pictures. The letters represent the country the car (and driver) is from. If the grading-system hypothesis is beginning to feel like a stretch, it’s because it is. An extra rung on the ladder of shame before hitting “F,” perhaps? Then a “P.” A driver graded on a pass/fail basis, maybe? Then an “NL.” Not Listed? No License? Suddenly, as you wonder why you haven’t seen a “C” driver all morning, an “E” drives by. Before you know it, license plates marked “D” and even “F” pass by-with drivers either oblivious to their poor grade or defiantly refusing to let it bother them. Then there are those license plates marked with a “B” good drivers still, one supposes, but could be better with more road practice. There are cars whose license plates bear an “A” presumably they are the best drivers.
If you find yourself in a tour bus on a highway somewhere in central Europe, looking out at the license plates of the cars passing by, you might think the system of European license plates was devised as a public way to grade drivers.
