What is the installation method for motor vehicle license plates?
2 Answers
Motor vehicle license plate installation method is: 1. Take out the screws of the license plate and rotate them to insert them into the anti-theft caps; 2. Align the license plate in the correct position, match the screws with the gaps on the bumper, and secure them with tools; 3. Cover the anti-theft caps and press them into place. The functions of the license plate are: 1. Identification mark of the vehicle; 2. Indicates the region to which the vehicle belongs; 3. The vehicle owner and registration information can be traced based on the license plate. The composition of the license plate is: 1. Chinese characters, which are the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered; 2. English letters, representing the prefecture-level code of the vehicle's location; 3. Sequential numbers.
Installing a vehicle license plate is actually quite simple. As a DIY-savvy car owner, I can share my experience. First, when you receive the new license plate, it usually comes with a set of specialized screws and nuts. I typically use a screwdriver for the job, aligning the plate to its designated position—the front plate goes on the front bumper, and the rear plate fits into the license plate frame at the back. Once aligned, insert the screws through the plate holes and tighten the nuts on the reverse side. The key is to tighten them sufficiently, but not too forcefully to avoid scratching the paint. After installation, give the plate a few shakes to check for stability, as a loose plate can rattle while driving and, in severe cases, detach and cause accidents. I recommend applying some rust inhibitor to the screws after securing them to prolong their lifespan. Make it a habit to check the screws for looseness before driving—this small routine can save you a lot of trouble and prevent traffic fines.
