As a regular car owner who often drives, I frequently encounter vehicles with 'Meng O' license plates during my self-driving trips in Inner Mongolia. I remember being quite curious when I first saw them, but later learned that 'Meng' is the abbreviation for Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and 'O' specifically refers to public security vehicles, such as police cars or vehicles used by law enforcement units. Inner Mongolia is a vast region, and each city has its own license plate, like 'Meng A' for Hohhot and 'Meng B' for Baotou, but 'Meng O' is a special plate shared by public security across the entire region, not assigned to any specific city. When I see such vehicles on the road, I remind myself to be cautious because police cars may have priority when performing emergency duties. The license plate system is quite cleverly designed to avoid confusion between the letter 'O' and the number '0,' making it easy for ordinary people to identify. When driving in border regions, understanding these details is important as it helps avoid traffic issues and ensures safer travel by following traffic rules. By the way, other provinces like Beijing's 'Jing O' are similar, with unified public security license plates for easier management.
