Where does the license plate 'Lu F' belong to?
1 Answers
Lu F is the license plate code for Yantai City, Shandong Province. The first two characters of a motor vehicle license plate are the provincial and municipal institution' codes, consisting of a Chinese character and an English letter. The Chinese character is the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government, while the English letter is the alphabetic code for the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered. More information about license plate numbers is as follows: 1. A license plate number is an identifier for a vehicle, much like an ID number for a person. It consists of three parts. The first part is a Chinese character, which is the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered. The second part is an English letter, representing the code for the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is registered. For example, if 'A' is the provincial capital, 'B' is the second-largest city in the province, then 'C' would be the third-largest city, and so on. 2. The third part is a five-digit serial number, which theoretically represents the order in which the vehicle was registered in that province and region. A larger number indicates a more recent registration, implying a newer vehicle. However, since the license plate number is limited to five digits, if it exceeds this limit, the first digit is replaced with the letter 'A', followed by four digits from 0001 to 9999. Once these are exhausted, 'A' is changed to 'B', and the four digits are reset to 0001 to 9999, and so on.
