What is the Min O license plate?

[EverettLynn]

Min O license plates are exclusively for the public security system of Fujian Province. Below is an introduction to license plate numbers: 1. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character, representing the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered. For example, Beijing is represented by 'Jing', Tianjin by 'Jin', Shanghai by 'Hu', and Chongqing by 'Yu'. 2. The second character is an English letter, representing the code for the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is located. Generally, the division is based on the provincial vehicle management office's classification of prefecture-level cities, with 'A' usually representing the provincial capital, 'B' the second-largest city, and so on. The specific division varies by province, considering factors such as comprehensive administrative area, total population, and economic strength, with subsequent letters not following a specific order. 3. If the second code is 'O', it indicates a vehicle belonging to the provincial public security department. For example, 'Shaan O1313 Police' is a vehicle of the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department.

I remember when I was on a business trip in Xiamen last year, I encountered vehicles with MinO license plates several times, which are actually special vehicle identifiers for Fujian's public security system. Having driven trucks for twenty years and traveled all over the country, I'm very familiar with these license plate symbols. The letter 'O' in license plates usually represents official vehicles of the Public Security Bureau or police departments. It's best to give way when you see them—safety first. Fujian's license plate system is quite practical, allowing drivers to identify vehicle types at a glance and reducing conflicts on the road. I've also reminded friends that if they go on a self-drive trip to Fujian, they should pay extra attention to this to avoid being caught by traffic cameras for violations. Learning a bit about license plate conventions can greatly enhance driving safety.

When I was getting my driver's license, I memorized the license plate rules. The Min O plate is exclusive to Fujian police vehicles. I often see them during my daily commute, especially in urban areas like Fuzhou. Most of these vehicles are police cars or law enforcement vehicles on duty, so I've developed the habit of slowing down and keeping a safe distance. From my driving experience, recognizing such markings is crucial for accident prevention. Given Fujian's high traffic density, O-plate vehicles often weave through traffic. I recommend keeping a traffic handbook handy for review to avoid mistakes when overtaking. Safety should always come first.

Researching the history of Chinese license plates reveals that the design of 'Min O' originated from the old system, where 'Min' is the abbreviation for Fujian, and the letter 'O' represents vehicles of public security agencies. According to the materials I've reviewed, this system has been in use since the 1980s to facilitate the management of special vehicles. Although there have been minor adjustments to the license plate symbols over different periods, the basic meaning of 'O' has remained unchanged. This reflects the progress of traffic regulations from a different perspective. Understanding the background knowledge can help drivers better comprehend road signs.

I frequently travel between Fujian and Guangdong, and comparing license plates is quite interesting. The 'Min O' specifically refers to Fujian police vehicles, similar to how 'Yue O' in Guangdong also denotes police cars, but there are slight differences in their usage. In Fujian, O-plated vehicles have a high duty frequency, so it's important to be mindful of speed limits when you see them. As a cross-province driver, I share these details with my peers to avoid violations in new areas. Recognizing the provincial symbol combined with the letter O is the key.
