Why Do License Plates Easily Fall Off in Flooded Areas?

[AlanaAnn]

License plates are prone to falling off in flooded areas for the following reasons: When a vehicle is driving through water, the front of the license plate is subjected to the impact force of the water. The gap between the top two screws securing the plate and the front bumper is relatively large, allowing water to squeeze into these gaps. The license plate is then subjected to the combined impact forces from the water flow in both directions. The faster the vehicle speed, the greater the shaking amplitude of the license plate, making the screws more likely to loosen. Here are some effective methods to prevent license plates from falling into water: 1. Develop the habit of regularly checking the screws of the license plate. If they are loose, tighten or replace them immediately. 2. When driving through water, try to keep the speed as slow as possible to reduce the impact force of water on the license plate, thereby lowering the probability of the plate falling off.
