While [[hitchhiking]] you can get a lot of information from the '''number plates''' of cars. On many cars you can find stickers or even parts of number plate that point out to the garage (and town) where the car is bought. If you're looking for long hitches, this could come in handy as it gives you important information of the hometown of the driver.
The lists of number plates are from german Wikipedia, just because there is mostly more information (like maps) than in the english version.
=== [[Germany]] ===
Number plates in Germany look like this: '''B - AA 1234 '''. Here the first letter (often two, sometimes three) can tell you from which municipality/city a car is coming from. For example '''B''' means [[Berlin]], '''OS''' means [[Osnabrück|Osnabrueck]] etc. Even a lot of drivers know the number plate letters, so hitchhiking with a sign saying '''OS''', '''WB''' ([[Wittenberg]]) or something else will be widely understood if you're near that city. Don't try to use a letter from a city in [[Bayern|Bavaria]] in the north of Germany, of course.
