Regulations on Enlarged License Plate Spraying
2 Answers
Regulations on Enlarged License Plate Spraying: 1. Vehicle Scope: Trucks with a total mass greater than or equal to 4500kg (excluding semi-trailer tractors) and special operation vehicles modified from truck chassis (excluding fire trucks), trailers with a total mass greater than 3500kg, and passenger vehicles with a length greater than or equal to 6m should all have enlarged license plate numbers sprayed or affixed on the rear of the vehicle body. For dump trucks with a total mass greater than or equal to 12000kg, enlarged license plate numbers should also be sprayed on both sides of the vehicle body. If it is structurally impossible to affix/place enlarged license plate numbers on the rear of the vehicle body, spraying enlarged license plate numbers on both sides of the vehicle body is considered to meet the requirements. 2. License Plate Requirements: The characters of the enlarged license plate numbers should be clear. The font size should be no less than 2.5 times that of the font used for small car license plates. The enlarged license plate numbers should be clear and complete, with a color that has a noticeable contrast to the vehicle body color.
Seeing you ask about enlarged license plates, I have friends in freight who know this well! Simply put, large trucks, trailers, and buses must have a prominently displayed enlarged license plate number sprayed on the rear of the vehicle. The sprayed characters must be clearly visible, with the same white color as the license plate background, and the font size is strictly regulated—for example, large trucks require each single character to be at least 10cm wide and 20cm tall! The most crucial part is the placement, usually required to be sprayed in the middle of the rear bumper, no lower than 30cm from the ground. New vehicles must have this done within 15 days of registration, or they’ll face fines if caught. Also, a reminder: if this marking is missing during annual inspections, the vehicle will fail outright, and it’s also prone to checks when traveling out of town. Don’t skimp on the few hundred bucks for spraying and risk serious consequences.
