OK, continuing the number plate theme, what country uses RL as it's ISO code?
The three letter ISO Country Code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3) of Mozambique is MOZ. On the license plate they use MOC yes, but technically that wasn't the question. At the same time, no country uses the two letter ISO Country Code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) of RL.
What you both are asking for is the DSIT code. From Wikipedia (not the most reliable source, you are right):
Many codes coincide, but just not the two you asked for.Quote:
The allocation of codes is maintained by the United Nations as the Distinguishing Signs of Vehicles in International Traffic (sometimes abbreviated to DSIT), authorized by the UN's Geneva Convention on Road Traffic of 1949 and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of 1968. Many vehicle codes created since the adoption of ISO 3166 coincide with ISO two- or three-letter codes.
I realize this is overly pedantic for a simply online quiz. But in my opinion it is important to get things right. Especially if you don't want to look like a blabbering fool in the real world, I know from experience :(
geez.......I'm starting to realise why I quit here last time. Well done bud, guess I'll leave it to all you experts in future........... :rolleyes:Quote:

When someone challenges you with facts it is of course a personal attack to you :rolleyes:
For your information I only researched it after you gave the answer and figjam already gave the new question. There I realised that there was a difference between ISO codes and license plate codes so I gave that information here. If figjam didn't specifically confuse ISO and DSIT I would have never brought it up.
Oh, and as you may note, I did not answer figjams question, so fire away.
