Is it the letter I or the number 1 on the license plate?
1 Answers
It is the Arabic numeral 1. Car license plates only contain the Arabic numeral 1, not the letter I. According to the current standards for motor vehicle license plates in the People's Republic of China: each digit of the license plate serial number can use English letters individually, but the letters O and I from the 26 English letters are prohibited to avoid confusion with the numbers 0 and 1. Therefore, any 'I' seen on license plates is actually the Arabic numeral 1. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Motor Vehicle License Plate: A motor vehicle license plate is a legal mark registered with the statutory authority, permitting the vehicle to drive on roads within the People's Republic of China. The license plate is generally hung at a specific position on the motor vehicle, and its number is the motor vehicle registration number. The main function is that through the license plate, one can identify the province, city, or county to which the vehicle belongs, and the vehicle management office can trace the owner of the vehicle based on the license plate. 2. Motor Vehicle Registration Number: The motor vehicle registration number includes: the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government represented by Chinese characters, the issuing authority code represented by English letters, the serial number composed of Arabic numerals and English letters, and the abbreviation of the special license plate represented by Chinese characters.
