There is no license plate that starts with the character 'Gang'. The Chinese character at the beginning of a license plate represents the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government. Here is more information about license plates: 1. License plates starting with 'Gang' are not Hong Kong license plates. The front of the vehicle uses white background with black characters, while the rear uses yellow background with black characters. The specifications are made according to the British BSAU145a standard at the time, so each license plate is printed with the small characters 'BS-AU145a'. License plate numbers do not start with '0'. Some license plates do not have English letters, while others do not have numbers. To avoid confusion with the numbers '1' and '0', the letters 'I', 'O', and 'Q' are not used. The license plate standard has been in use since May 31, 1983. Before that, red background with white characters (buses, minibuses), white background with black characters (private vehicles), and black background with white characters (taxis, trucks) were used. 2. License plates, commonly known as plates, also refer to vehicle registration plates. They are plates hung on the front and rear of the vehicle, usually made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other relevant information. 3. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character: it represents the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of the province, municipality, or autonomous region. 4. The second character of a license plate is an English letter: it represents the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, generally the letter code for prefecture-level cities, regions, autonomous prefectures, or leagues. The ranking is usually divided by the provincial vehicle management office based on the status of each prefecture-level administrative region: (the letter 'A' is the code for the capital, provincial capital, or central urban area of a municipality directly under the central government, and the subsequent letters are not ranked in any particular order).

I've been driving trucks in Hong Kong for years and know license plates inside out. The 'A' plate refers to Hong Kong's vehicle prefix system, where the A-series marks the beginning of regular private car sequences, first issued in the 1950s and now extended to new series like AM. These plates feature black characters on white background – clean and easily identifiable, unlike some mainland provinces' green backgrounds. The Transport Department manages this system: applying for regular numbers is straightforward, but getting premium plates like A888 requires auctions where bids can skyrocket to hundreds of thousands of HKD. A-prefix vehicles are common in parking lots, serving as daily transportation without special significance, though remember left-hand traffic rules for safety. This plate system operates independently – don't confuse it with mainland systems (e.g. Guangdong's YueA for Guangzhou). Never skip periodic inspections to ensure smooth operation.

What are the issues to pay attention to when changing lanes in a car?

When changing lanes in a car, the following issues should be noted: 1. Choose the lane in advance: Be clear about your route and direction, and change to the lane you need ahead of time; 2. Be decisive: Other drivers are wary of hesitant vehicles. Generally, when the following car sees the turn signal of the car ahead, it will tap the brakes and wait for the car ahead to complete the lane change before overtaking; 3. Be accurate: Avoid being overly aggressive when changing lanes. Accurately judge speed, distance, and time. For example, your speed should not be slower than the adjacent car when changing lanes, the recommended distance is to be able to see the rear car's lights or front bumper, and the lane change time should be short. When changing lanes, drivers should follow several basic principles: do not force a lane change, do not change lanes continuously, do not change lanes frequently, and change lanes in advance.

What are the symptoms of a damaged CV joint?

The symptoms of a damaged CV joint in a car are: abnormal noises or jerking during use. Here is relevant information: 1. CV joint classification: CV joints in cars are divided into inner CV joints and outer CV joints. To assess the condition of a CV joint, it is recommended to shake the CV joint by hand to feel the clearance. 2. Method for judging wear: Generally, the inside of a CV joint fits tightly with almost no clearance. If a significant clearance is felt, it indicates severe wear of the CV joint, which needs to be replaced. The inner CV joint connects to the transmission differential, while the outer CV joint connects to the wheel. Whether during power output or vehicle turning, the outer CV joint plays a role. A car CV joint typically consists of a bell-shaped housing, tripod bearing steel balls, a dust cover, a retaining ring, and grease.
