Car license plate (number plate) definition

Plates with a yellow background are commercial vehicles - trucks, taxis etc.

Blue plates are PSV's (public service vehicles) - police, ambulance, fire etc

Red plates are diplomatic (embassy) vehicles

White plates with a blue square with a number on the right are vehicles owned by foreign registered companies, eg a blue square with a 12 is the Libyan branch of a German company.

Plain white plates are privately owned vehicles.

The Arabic writing on the plate translates as "Libyan Jamahiriya" or something similar...

To add something to that,

You can see a plate with a number like 28-5 then few digits gathered together. Anyway, digit 5 refers to Tripoli and 28 is hay Alandalus

Another e.g. 45-5.. 45 is center of Tripoli and 5 is Tripoli
Note, the digit 5 in your company's car which refers to Tripoli

Usually the car behind me is so close I can't see the number plate, but can smell what the driver had for breakfast.
