When I see these red license plates while driving, I always remember that they don't represent any specific region, but are exclusively for vehicles of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Military vehicles use red plates not to indicate whether the vehicle is from Beijing or Shanghai, but to signify special purposes and privileges. The design of these plates is very eye-catching, mainly to avoid misjudgment and improve recognition. When encountering vehicles with red plates, it's advisable to keep a distance, as they may have priority rights, such as during emergencies or when performing missions. I've noticed some novice drivers being curious about this color. In fact, different license plate colors represent different types: blue for ordinary private cars, green for new energy vehicles, and yellow for large commercial vehicles. The presence of red plates reminds us that road conditions are diverse, and knowing more about license plates can make driving safer.
