If you no longer want your self-selected car license plate number, you can go to the vehicle management office to choose a new one. Here are the relevant details: 1. Requirements for reselection: If you are not satisfied with the number selected online, you must wait for the original self-selected number to expire and become invalid (usually 7-15 days) before you can choose a new one, but you cannot select the same number again. If you attempt to select a number online again, you may be denied for maliciously occupying license plate resources and will need to visit the vehicle management office for a random selection. 2. Reselection process: After successfully selecting a number, the license plate number is reserved for 3 working days starting from the next day. During this period, vehicles that have successfully selected a license plate number online are not allowed to choose another number or modify the submitted information via the internet. If you are dissatisfied with the self-selected license plate online, you can log in to the online self-selection system again after 3 working days to choose a new satisfactory number.

This has happened to friends around me too. If you've just self-selected a license plate on the 12123 APP but haven't confirmed it yet, simply exit and reselect—it's similar to canceling an online order. If you've already confirmed but regret it, don't rush to the DMV to complete the process; the system allows a 3-day reconsideration period. If you give up during this time, you just can't select a plate online for the next 2 years. The most troublesome scenario is when the license plate has already been mounted—then you'd really have to consider transferring the vehicle or canceling and starting over, but you'd need to repay the plate fee and it would affect your insurance. Next time, I suggest spending a few more days brainstorming license plate options, writing down all the family's preferred alternatives on paper to compare, so you don't end up like my colleague who regretted choosing 'SB945' after the fact.

What Causes the Rear Wheels to Lock Up?

The reasons for the rear wheels locking up are water ingress into the brake drum and hard emergency braking. Here are the detailed explanations: Water ingress into the brake drum: If the vehicle has been parked for too long, moisture was not promptly removed after driving in the rain, or the brake drum was not treated after getting wet during car washing, rust can form on the brake drum, eliminating the gap between the drum and the brake shoes, leading to excessive force during braking, which may cause the wheels to lock up. Hard emergency braking: During emergency braking, if the brake pedal is pressed too hard, the brake shoes can lock the wheels, meaning the brake locks the tires. If the rear axle locks up, it may result in rear-wheel skidding.

What causes the clunking sound when driving over potholes?
