What does the term 'super license plate vehicle' mean?
3 Answers
Super license plate vehicles refer to special-type motor vehicles. Specifically, these are engineering special operation vehicles that exceed the standard limits for axle load and total mass, as well as motor vehicles used for transporting large, non-disassemblable items that are over-length, over-width, or over-height. On the right side of the temporary license plate, the character 'super' is printed. The 'super' temporary license plate is specially approved by the state for certain non-disassemblable items and special vehicles, but it must be used in conjunction with an over-limit transport permit. The need for super license plate trailers: As China is a major infrastructure country, over-limit transportation is essential. Various off-road vehicles, equipment, spare parts, and vehicles that are over-width, over-height, over-weight, or over-length, such as wind turbine blades and main units, hydroelectric power main units, large tunnel boring machines, large-scale equipment, various types of tanks, bridge beams, heavy imported equipment, all require these special-type motor vehicles.
As a car enthusiast who often hangs out with fellow car lovers, the term 'super plate cars' is quite common in my circle. It mainly refers to vehicles that are illegally modified or use counterfeit license plates. For example, some people secretly tune their engines for extreme power to chase speed thrills, or simply slap on a fake plate to evade law enforcement. Though they may look flashy, I've seen several demonstrations at car shows where such modifications easily lead to brake failure or unstable body control, making them extremely dangerous to drive. Once, my neighbor got fined over 20,000 yuan for this and even had points deducted from their license. I advise everyone to always comply with regulations when modifying cars—use official channels and avoid risky stunts for excitement. Safety comes first; factory-standard cars can still be fun to drive and save you a lot of trouble.
As an average office worker who's been driving for five years, this is the first time I've heard of 'over-plated vehicles.' Literally, it might mean a car's performance exceeds license restrictions or involves using fake plates. I find this quite alarming—imagine encountering such a car speeding toward you on the road; there'd be no time to avoid it. My elders always say driving should be steady, without fancy modifications. Over-plated cars are illegal and pose accident risks, with no insurance coverage. Personally, I believe instead of exploring such ideas, it's better to maintain your car properly, get annual inspections on time, and ensure tires and brakes are in good condition. Getting home safely is what matters most.
