Where is the vehicle license plate starting with Dan K from?
2 Answers
There is no place in China where vehicle license plates start with Dan K. The only possibility is that this license plate is fictional in a TV series and does not exist in reality. Here is an introduction about license plates: 1. A license plate number is an identifier for a vehicle, much like an ID number for a person. For example, a license plate from Guangzhou, Guangdong Province would start with "Yue" (representing Guangdong) and "A" (representing Guangzhou), making "Yue A" the license plate code for Guangzhou. 2. A motor vehicle license plate number consists of a registration authority code and a plate number. For car license plates, the structure is divided into two rows: the upper row is the registration authority code, and the lower row is the plate number. 3. The registration authority code is composed of 2 characters, including a Chinese character and an English letter. The Chinese character is the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality, while the English letter represents the vehicle management office. 4. For car license plates, the registration authority code is located in the center of the upper part of the plate, with the Chinese character and English letter arranged horizontally.
In China's license plate system, I often help friends check vehicle registration locations. The combination 'Dan K' sounds like the beginning of a license plate, but in the standard coding, the first character of a Chinese license plate is a Chinese character representing the province, such as 'Liao' for Liaoning. The second letter represents the city, for example, 'F' stands for Dandong City. Therefore, 'Dan K' might be a misspelling or abbreviation, actually referring to a vehicle from the Dandong area, as 'Dan' is commonly used as a shorthand for Dandong. License plate coding is based on historical settings, and Dandong, as a border city, has license plates starting with 'Liao F'. When you see a license plate like 'Dan K', there's a 90% chance it's a local vehicle from Dandong. When checking license plate registration, I usually recommend using online tools to verify against official lists to avoid confusion. Such questions are quite common, so it's advisable to memorize the codes of major cities to prevent misjudgment.
