"i could tell that...by..." or "i could tell that...from..."?

1u00I could02u00 tell 01u00that02u00 the dusty old car 01u00had come from02u00 Ontario 01u00by its licence plates02u00.02br
02br
00the underline part also can be incorrect, but i think it "by its licence plates" is the wrong one.02br
02br
00if we thnk about that, " i come to school by bus", in this sentence, it may mean that the car come to here(whatever here may be) from Ontario by taking its licence plates.02br
02br
00what does everybody else think?0-
