License Plate Codes
Е А ТХ ЕВ Х К КН ОВ М РА РК ЕН РВ РР Р Н СС СН СМ С,СА СО СТ Т В ВТ ВН ВР УAfter the requirement that all number plate codes had to be compatible with both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets came into force –
- The provinces that already had compatible codes retained them – e.g. Varna "B", Ruse "P"
- Most other major cities took on the remaining single-letter codes that were hitherto unused – e.g. Burgas "A", Blagoevgrad "E" (a significant exception to this is Plovdiv's "PB")
- The rest adopted two-letter codes that simply included random letters from their names – mostly from Cyrillic, some from Latin, and a few from a combination of the two.

Famous quotes containing the words license, plate and/or codes:
“It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this free country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“Our press is certainly bankrupt in the “thrill of awe”Motherwise reverence: reverence for nickel plate and brummagem. Let us sincerely hope that this fact will remain a fact forever; for to my mind a discriminating irreverence is the creator and protector of human liberty.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
