How many screws are required for license plate installation?
2 Answers
If there are only two screw holes on the license plate, you only need to install two screws. If the license plate has four holes, then four screws must be installed. Installing only two screws when there are two holes will not result in penalty points or fines. However, if there are four holes, all four screws must be installed, and they must be specialized screws; otherwise, you may face penalty points and fines. Relevant information about license plates is as follows: 1. Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates attached to the front and rear of a vehicle, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, and other relevant information. 2. Function: License plates serve as identification and information registration for vehicles. Their primary purpose is to indicate the vehicle's region of registration and allow tracking of the vehicle's owner and registration details.
Having driven for many years, I know all about license plate screws. Both front and rear plates should be secured with 4 screws each. This is what I've learned from multiple license plate installation experiences - each plate has 4 holes that must all be fastened with bolts to prevent wobbling while driving. I remember one rainy day when I only installed 3 screws, the plate came loose and hit the rear bumper, giving me quite a scare. I immediately went to a repair shop to fix it. The DMV inspection strictly requires all 4 screws to be installed, otherwise you may face fines or penalty points. I recommend using screws with anti-theft caps - just buy matching screw tools from the market and you can easily DIY. Don't cut corners by installing fewer screws, the risk is too great. During regular maintenance, I often check the tightness of the screws to ensure everything is secure. In short, while license plates may seem small, they're critically important and shouldn't be taken lightly.
