Jiangyin license plates are designated as Su B. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Su A - Nanjing; Su B - Wuxi; Su C - Xuzhou; Su D - Changzhou; Su E - Suzhou; Su F - Nantong; Su G - Lianyungang; Su H - Huai'an; Su J - Yancheng; Su K - Yangzhou; Su L - Zhenjiang; Su M - Taizhou; Su N - Suqian. This classification standard is based on economic development levels. 2. License plates are driving permits issued by local vehicle management offices to motor vehicles, and in the past also referred to licenses issued for certain special businesses. License plates serve as the identity card for vehicles, and vehicles without license plates are not permitted on the road.

I've been driving in Jiangyin for over a decade, where all license plates start with Su B. 'Su' is the abbreviation for Jiangsu Province, and the letter 'B' represents Wuxi City. Since Jiangyin is a county-level city, it falls under this system. The plate is followed by a combination of five letters and numbers, commonly seen in formats like Su B123AB. As a private car owner, blue license plates are the most common, while green plates are for new energy vehicles, reflecting the environmental theme. License plates serve as the car's ID card, used by police to check violations or handle accidents. It's advisable to regularly clean them to avoid dust obstruction and potential mistaken penalties. Last year, I had a minor scrape, and having clear license plate records helped avoid disputes. They're also convenient for quick identification when moving cars in parking spaces. It's important to check your plate's security before driving.

As someone who frequently pays attention to transportation equipment, I've noticed that license plate recognition technology has been applied to daily management in Jiangyin. License plates starting with SuB indicate they belong to Wuxi, and the automatic scanning and data storage by roadside cameras reduce manual intervention. With the trend of new energy vehicles, green license plates have become widespread, and Jiangyin also has charging stations integrated with the recognition system. From a practical perspective, blurry license plates while driving can trigger false alarms, and I often remind my friends to keep their plates clean. Such systems improve efficiency but rely on vehicle owners' conscientious maintenance. Occasionally, road construction dust can affect plate visibility, so it's advisable to carry wet wipes as a backup. Overall, technology makes travel safer and more efficient.

Thinking about the evolution of license plates, Jiangyin's plates weren't as finely categorized as they are now. In the early days, the national format was revised several times, and by the late 1980s, it was standardized with provincial abbreviations plus letter codes. Wuxi was assigned the letter B, so Jiangyin followed suit, adopting Su B as the standard. I still remember the days of handwritten registration books for comparison. Nowadays, the combination of numbers and letters offers better anti-counterfeiting and more convenient unified management. Those who drive older cars are aware of the history when license plates were more prone to damage.
