Mary commutes in a Ford Focus to her accounting job in the heart of the city. She wants to drive into the city on Thursdays because she has an early shift at the office. What kind of license will Mary receive?
Explanation
Mary is not providing an emergency service, and she’s not a business owner in the city center.
As a result, there is currently no license plate that permits her to travel by car on Thursdays.
For this reason, she will not be issued a license plate unless a new one/category of license is introduced to accommodate her needs.
Mary must take public transportation and/or walk to work.

For this reason, the most accurate answer is “impossible to know”.
