Su F is the license plate of Nantong, Jiangsu. Su is the abbreviation for Jiangsu Province. The license plates of other regions in Jiangsu are as follows: Su A is Nanjing, Su B is Wuxi, Su C is Xuzhou, Su D is Changzhou, Su E is Suzhou, Su G is Lianyungang, Su H is Huaian, Su J is Yancheng, Su K is Yangzhou, Su L is Zhenjiang, Su M is Taizhou, Su N is Suqian. License plates, also known as vehicle registration plates, are plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. Their main functions are: 1. To identify the region to which the vehicle belongs; 2. To find the owner and registration information of the vehicle based on the license plate.

Last time my friend also asked about the Su F license plate, and I had to specifically look it up to find out it's from Nantong, Jiangsu. You see, the 'Su' at the beginning of the license plate is the abbreviation for Jiangsu, and the following letter represents different cities within the province. I used to think F stood for Nanjing, but that's actually incorrect. Nantong is located north of the Yangtze River, in the direction closer to Shanghai, and I've even been there to eat seafood. If you see this kind of license plate on the road, it's basically a car from Nantong. By the way, license plate colors vary by region too—blue plates are for regular private cars, while large yellow plates are for heavy trucks. Nowadays, many navigation apps can identify the origin of license plates, which is quite convenient.

I once noticed a Su F license plate at a highway service station and made a mental note of its origin. This type of plate belongs to Nantong City in Jiangsu Province, where 'Su' represents the entire Jiangsu region, and the letter 'F' is the code assigned to their city. Nantong is located in the eastern part of Jiangsu, bordering the Yangtze River and the Yellow Sea, and is very close to Shanghai. I remember local friends mentioning that their traffic restriction rules based on license plate endings differ from Shanghai's. The design of these license plates is quite meticulous, with new energy vehicles using gradient green plates. If you're driving to Nantong from another region, it's best to check the local traffic restriction policies.

I remember last year when I traveled to Jiangsu, the tour guide specifically explained the knowledge about license plates. Su F indeed represents Nantong, Jiangsu, and all license plates in Jiangsu start with the character 'Su'. The alphabetical order has no relation to the size of the cities. A is Nanjing, the provincial capital, B is Wuxi, followed by Xuzhou, Changzhou, and then Nantong. I've noticed that there are more and more new energy vehicles now, all with green license plates which are very easy to recognize. When you see blue license plates on private cars on the road, the first two characters can basically tell you where the car is from.

Last time I picked up a hitchhiker who was from Nantong, and we talked about the license plate code Su F on the way. The car owner said he travels around Jiangsu and is very familiar with the license plate allocations. The Nantong license plate started using the F series around 2008, and the old plates used to be Su F followed by four digits. A special reminder when driving in the Yangtze River Delta region: pay attention to the different license plate restriction policies in various cities. For example, during Shanghai's restricted hours for out-of-town plates, Nantong license plates entering the city center also need to be mindful of the timing. Nowadays, Amap can recognize license plates from various cities, and enabling the license plate recognition feature can alert you to restricted areas.

When working at the repair shop, I often come across license plates from various regions. Those starting with 'Su F' belong to Nantong, Jiangsu. The letter order of Jiangsu license plates starts with 'Su A' for Nanjing. Nantong is a relatively economically developed city in Jiangsu, so you can see many 'Su F' license plates from out-of-town vehicles on the road. While repairing cars, I noticed that vehicle maintenance habits vary across different regions, with Nantong car owners generally being more diligent in maintenance. Actually, the placement of license plates is also quite particular. Nowadays, new car models are designed with recesses in the bumper to avoid direct damage to the license plate frame in rear-end collisions.

How to Claim Insurance for a New Car Fully Covered but Flooded?

If the car is flooded while parked, as long as you have purchased auto damage insurance, the insurance company will provide full compensation.
