Why is points deducted for missing license plate screws?
1 Answers
Currently, vehicles are required to have 4 screws installed for the license plate. Failure to install the license plate according to regulations will result in a 12-point deduction and a fine. For vehicles produced earlier that only have two screw holes (left and right), two screws are sufficient. However, vehicles with four screw holes must have all four screws installed. Below is an introduction regarding vehicle license plates: 1. Hazards of a fallen license plate. If a vehicle's license plate is not properly installed and secured, it can easily fall off when driving through waterlogged roads or uneven terrain, resulting in the vehicle being driven without a license plate. Driving without a displayed license plate will incur a 200 yuan fine, a 12-point deduction, and the vehicle may be temporarily impounded. 2. License plate installation standards. When installing a motor vehicle license plate, all installation holes must be fitted with fastening devices that meet GA804 requirements (except when vehicle conditions prevent installation). According to the "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Specifications," starting from March 1, 2016, newly produced motor vehicles (excluding motorcycles) must have 4 license plate installation holes per plate frame. For vehicles produced before March 1, 2016, fastening devices must be installed according to the number of holes on each plate frame.
