I've been observing vehicles on the road for many years. White license plates refer to vehicles with white plates in China, which are mainly used by police cars, military vehicles, or special vehicles such as armed police. License plates starting with BB are uncommon, as standard police plates usually begin with Jing A followed by a police number, while armed police plates typically start with WJ followed by numbers. BB might be a misunderstanding or a regional variant, such as temporary codes for certain departments. Encountering such vehicles likely means they are official vehicles, and you should yield the right of way. As a car enthusiast, I recommend using traffic management apps to verify plate authenticity to avoid confusion. License plate details affect safe driving, so avoid modifying vehicle lights to mimic special vehicles. Daily drivers should familiarize themselves with license plate system knowledge, such as blue plates for civilian use and green plates for new energy vehicles, as this enhances road safety awareness and enjoyment.
