Where is the license plate with the character 'Hong' from?
3 Answers
There is no license plate with the character 'Hong'. Here is other information about license plates: 1. A license plate number is an identifier for a vehicle, similar to how an ID number is for a person. License plates serve to number and register vehicle information, primarily allowing identification of the vehicle's region of registration and enabling lookup of the owner and registration details. 2. White license plates are used for judicial, armed police, and other special departments. 3. Blue license plates are for ordinary passenger cars. 4. Yellow license plates are for large vehicles such as trucks and trailers. Additionally, luxury cars exceeding 6 meters in length, like extended Lincoln or Rolls-Royce models, also require yellow plates.
My buddy just asked about this the other day! License plates starting with the Chinese character 'Hong' are actually not regular private vehicle plates. They are special license plates customized by public security authorities for criminal scene investigation vehicles. Think about professional vehicles like police cars or forensic vans with 'Criminal Investigation' stickers on the front—they usually have these 'Hong' plates. These plates are used nationwide but only appear on official vehicles performing specific duties. Ordinary car owners will never encounter them, so if you see a car with a 'Hong' plate on the road, it's best to yield the right of way—they're usually rushing to crime scenes. Next time you see one, don't get curious and try to follow it—safety first!
Oh, I know this well! During last year's police open day, officers specifically explained it. The 'Hong' license plate is a special internal authorization within the public security system, exclusively assigned to crime scene investigation vehicles under the criminal technology department. Such plates may be used on investigation vehicles across different provinces, but they uniformly feature white background with red characters and black borders, along with a 'Criminal Technology' identification card placed on the windshield. Unlike regular license plates that indicate provinces, these represent the vehicle's functional attribute. These vehicles are typically loaded with forensic equipment, and opening the trunk reveals full sets of investigation kits. A reminder to everyone: if you encounter such vehicles on the road, do not crowd around—where they park is likely a restricted area!
