What is the penalty for missing a license plate cover?
1 Answers
If caught by traffic management authorities, you will face a fine and a 12-point deduction. Motor vehicle license plates must be mounted as required by regulations, using dedicated sealing devices for license plates at designated positions. Not using dedicated sealing devices for motor vehicle license plates or using other mounting devices is considered illegal. License plates must be installed with four nuts at both the front and rear, totaling eight mounting holes. Missing license plate screw caps or insufficiently installed screws are considered as not mounting the motor vehicle license plate as required. More information about the nuts is as follows: 1. Function: The nuts on the license plate are a very inconspicuous part of the car, hardly noticeable unless viewed up close, but traffic management authorities have extremely strict requirements for them. This is mainly because license plate screws, on one hand, can prevent some car owners from arbitrarily removing or replacing motor vehicle license plates; on the other hand, they can prevent criminals from engaging in license plate cloning, thereby protecting the interests of car owners. 2. Features: The nuts have a unique mark indicating the municipal district where the vehicle is registered. Traffic management authorities can use this mark to check whether the car is a cloned vehicle.
