You can use your old license plate on a new car, but there are specific conditions: 1. The license plate must belong to the same owner, meaning both vehicles must be registered under the same person; 2. The registration location must be the same, for example, a plate from Shandong (Lu Q) can only be replaced with another Shandong (Lu Q) plate; 3. The type of license plate must be the same—yellow plates can only be replaced with yellow plates, blue plates with blue plates, and green plates with green plates; 4. The vehicle must be non-commercial; 5. If you have already swapped plates, you must wait one year before applying for another swap or retaining the original plate number. If all these conditions are met, you can use your old license plate on your new car.

Is it possible to transfer ownership without filing transfer?

It is possible to transfer ownership without filing transfer, as filing transfer is equivalent to transferring the vehicle's records, but the ownership still remains with the original owner. When purchasing a second-hand motor vehicle with an out-of-town license plate and intending to register the vehicle locally, filing transfer is required. Filing transfer refers to the transfer of the vehicle's records. Ownership transfer only changes the identity of the owner, while filing transfer involves extracting the vehicle's records from location A and bringing them to location B for registration. Filing transfer process: Obtain a second-hand vehicle transaction invoice, take rubbings of the chassis and engine numbers (if not visible to the naked eye, have them done at a repair shop), remove the license plate for photography, verify the records at the archives, inspect the vehicle, submit the application at the vehicle management office, and package the vehicle management office records, known as the "major file".

Is the Electrostatic Sticker Reliable for Dash Cam Installation?

Using an electrostatic sticker for a dash cam is not secure because the sticker relies on the attraction between positive and negative electrostatic charges, which provides very minimal force. For a relatively heavy object like a dash cam, the electrostatic sticker naturally does not hold firmly. Even if it sticks initially, the dash cam can easily detach due to the side-to-side vibrations during driving. Before installing a dash cam, the mounting area on the windshield should be thoroughly cleaned. For adhesive-mounted dash cams, ensure the surface is free of moisture. Using a hairdryer to warm the adhesive can improve adhesion and make it more secure. A dash cam is a device that records video, audio, and other relevant information during vehicle operation. Once installed, it captures the entire driving process, safeguarding the driver's legal rights and providing effective evidence in case of traffic accidents. It can also be used to document scenic views during road trips.
