I've been driving for over twenty years and have a deep understanding of the license plate system. The representative letter for Shandong's license plates is 'Lu', which is the Chinese character at the very beginning of the plate. This is related to the ancient State of Lu, as the Shandong region was historically part of Lu, hence the use of 'Lu' to represent it. Recognizing license plates is especially important during long-distance drives. For example, when you see a plate starting with 'Lu' on the highway, you know it's a car from Shandong, and the driving style might be more steady, making communication easier in traffic jams. Each province has its own specific letter, like Beijing uses 'Jing' and Shanghai uses 'Hu'. Plates starting with 'Lu A' are from Jinan, and 'Lu B' is for Qingdao. Being able to clearly see these letters during heavy traffic can reduce misunderstandings and accidents. If the license plate is dirty and the letter is obscured, it should be cleaned promptly to avoid the hassle of being fined in the wrong province. Overall, 'Lu' not only represents the location but also facilitates communication among drivers.
