What does a Hubei license plate start with?
2 Answers
Hubei license plates start with the character 'E'. The vehicle registration authority code consists of 2 characters, comprising a Chinese character and an English letter. The Chinese character is the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government, while the English letter represents the code of the vehicle management office. The license plate codes for various regions in Hubei Province are as follows: 1. 'E A' represents Wuhan City; 2. 'E B' represents Huangshi City; 3. 'E C' represents Shiyan City; 4. 'E D' represents Jingzhou City; 5. 'E E' represents Yichang City; 6. 'E G' represents Ezhou City; 7. 'E H' represents Jingmen City; 8. 'E J' represents Huanggang City; 9. 'E K' represents Xiaogan City; 10. 'E M' represents Xiantao City; 11. 'E N' represents Qianjiang City.
I've been a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, often driving on highways. The license plates in Hubei start with the character 'E' (short for Hubei's old name), which is quite distinctive. For example, plates beginning with 'E A' are from Wuhan, and 'E B' are from Huangshi. I remember once when I was coming from Henan, a fellow driver with an 'E' plate helped me a lot by giving directions. The abbreviation 'E' comes from Hubei's ancient name. The first character of a license plate represents the province, and this is a nationwide classification. Don't worry if you can't remember them all; just observe a few more plates and you'll get familiar. I've also noticed that different cities have different letters, like 'E C' for Shiyan and 'E D' for Jingzhou, with the combination of numbers and letters following representing the details of the plate. Recognizing regional plates while driving can enhance your awareness of road conditions. I recommend that beginners memorize these basics when learning to drive, as it helps with safe driving and avoiding violations.
