What is the beginning of license plates in Hubei?
2 Answers
License plates in Hubei start with the character 'E', which is the abbreviation for Hubei. The license plate codes are as follows: E·A is Wuhan, E·B is Huangshi, E·C is Shiyan, E·D is Jingzhou, E·E is Yichang, E·F is Xiangyang, E·G is Ezhou, E·H is Jingmen, E·J is Huanggang, E·K is Xiaogan, E·L is Xianning, E·M is Xiantao, E·N is Qianjiang, E·P is Shennongjia Forestry District, E·Q is Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, E·R is Tianmen, E·S is Suizhou. The function of a license plate number is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs, and it can also be used to trace the owner of the vehicle and its registration information.
I'm particularly fond of studying details like license plates. Hubei plates start with 'E', which immediately identifies them as from Hubei. We car enthusiasts often discuss this - 'E' stands for Hubei's abbreviation, following the nationwide license plate coding system. During my recent trip to Wuhan with friends, seeing all those 'EA' plates on the road felt very familiar. Actually, the first character indicates the province: 'Jing' for Beijing, 'Lu' for Shandong, 'Yue' for Guangdong. Memorizing these helps identify vehicle origins on the road and prevents following out-of-town cars mistakenly. I've also noticed different plate colors have meanings: blue plates are for private passenger cars, yellow for large trucks or buses. I recommend new drivers learn these basics for more confident driving. Keeping plates clean is crucial too - dirty plates that are hard to read can cause trouble.
