What to Do If Your License Plate Is Washed Away by Water?
1 Answers
If your license plate is washed away by water, take the following measures promptly: When driving in heavy rain, passing through waterlogged sections, the faster the car speed, the greater the impact of water, making it easy for the license plate to be washed away. If your license plate is washed away, if conditions permit, you can stop the car and go back to look for it. If you can't find it, report it to the police immediately to prevent it from being used by criminals for illegal activities, such as framing the driver for traffic violations. After discovering that the license plate is washed away, if you haven't gone far or are not far from the waterlogged section, you can stop and return to look for it. If you can't find it, report it to the police. If conditions do not allow you to go back and look, such as being on a long trip and unable to retrieve it in time, you need to call the police immediately to file a report. Explain to the police approximately where it was washed away and where you have driven to, otherwise, if there are traffic violations later, you will need evidence to handle it. Go to the vehicle management office to apply for a replacement. Bring the vehicle's registration certificate, the driver's original ID card and a copy, a lost license plate certificate, and the motor vehicle registration certificate. If only one license plate is washed away, remove the other one and take it with you, because replacements are issued in pairs.
