Is there a difference between front and rear license plates?
1 Answers
Whether license plates are divided into front and rear depends on the type of vehicle. For passenger cars, there is no distinction between front and rear license plates. However, for buses and trucks, there is a difference—usually, a smaller plate is mounted at the front and a larger one at the rear. Here are specific details about license plates: 1. Remember to secure the license plate with four fastening screws. Incorrectly mounted plates can result in a 12-point penalty. When registering a new vehicle, ensure the dealership installs all four screws. If you receive the plates yourself, check if there are eight screws in total. If not, you must obtain the missing ones. According to traffic regulations, vehicles with four holes (two front and two rear) require four screws, while those with eight holes (four front and four rear) need eight screws. Installing too many or too few screws can lead to penalties. Additionally, only approved parts should be used for mounting. Using unauthorized substitutes, such as rivets, if screws are lost, is also non-compliant. 2. The most common license plates on the road are blue with white characters, typically used for standard passenger cars. Most cars use this type of plate unless they are automatic transmission vehicles, which require a C2 license. Otherwise, vehicles with this color plate can generally be driven with a standard license.
