Why Do License Plates Fall Off When Driving Through Water?

[AsherLee]

Here are the specific reasons why vehicle license plates may fall off when driving through water: 1. Strong Impact: The faster the car speed, the greater the impact force of the water, making it easier for the license plate to be washed away. 2. Retrievable: If the license plate is washed away by water, you can stop and look for it if conditions permit. If it cannot be found, report to the police immediately to prevent it from being used for illegal activities such as cloning. Below is additional information on how to handle a washed-away license plate: 1. Search: If you notice the license plate is missing and haven't driven far or are still near the waterlogged area, you can stop and go back to search. If it cannot be found, report to the police. 2. Unable to Search: If conditions do not allow you to go back and search, call the police immediately to file a report. 3. Apply for a Replacement at the DMV: Bring the vehicle registration certificate, the owner's original ID card and a copy, a proof of license plate loss, and the vehicle registration certificate.
