What is the purpose of the license plate nuts?
2 Answers
License plate nuts are used to secure the license plate. Below are relevant details about license plates: 1. Each license plate nut has a small emblem on its top, indicating the registration location of the vehicle. 2. The emblem on the license plate nut is not just for aesthetics; it must match the emblem of the city or district where the vehicle is registered. 3. If the two emblems do not match and are detected by traffic management authorities, the violation will be treated as failing to properly display the vehicle license plate, resulting in fines and penalty points. 4. Due to factors such as license plate production limitations, if a vehicle owner selects a custom license plate number, they may not receive the plate on the same day and will need to drive the vehicle back to the DMV for plate installation and sealing.
I've always found license plate nuts to be very practical, especially in preventing the license plate from loosening or falling off. As someone who drives frequently, the nuts on the license plate are used to secure the plate, preventing it from shaking loose while driving. If the license plate falls off, aside from facing fines from traffic police, it could also lead to difficulties in determining liability in case of an accident. I regularly check if the nuts are tight and apply anti-loosening adhesive to enhance durability. Additionally, some car models have nuts in positions prone to rust, so I use stainless steel materials to avoid corrosion-related failures. More importantly, with the rise in license plate theft, anti-theft nut designs can prevent others from easily unscrewing them, saving the hassle and cost of replacing the plate. In short, while this small component may seem simple, it plays a crucial role in safety and legal compliance.
