Whether points will be deducted if the license plate is washed away by water depends on the specific regulations of the local traffic management department. The following are specific explanations regarding the loss of a license plate: 1. Penalty regulations: The loss of a license plate already constitutes a failure to display the motor vehicle license plate as required. If caught on camera or intercepted by traffic police, you may face a fine and a penalty of 12 points deducted. If you discover that your license plate is missing, call the police first to file a report to prevent the license plate from being used by criminals. 2. Replacing the license plate: Prepare the relevant materials and apply for the service at the vehicle management office; obtain and fill out the "Application for Replacement of Motor Vehicle License Plates," submit the relevant materials, and wait for the service to be processed; after receiving the acceptance receipt, pay the fee, and generally, you can receive the new motor vehicle license plate within 7 days.

Last summer, while washing my beloved car, the high-pressure water jet was too strong and loosened the license plate, causing it to fall off. I didn't notice and drove off directly, only to be stopped by the police at an intersection. After a thorough inspection, the officer informed me that this violated the regulation requiring license plates to be clearly and securely fixed. Although it wasn't intentional, a loose or unreadable plate while driving could lead to issues like evading penalties for traffic violations. According to traffic laws, such a situation might be considered as obscuring the license plate, resulting in a 6-point penalty or a 200-yuan fine, depending on the severity. I quickly explained it was an accidental fall, and after a lecture, the officer allowed me to fix it before driving again. Since then, I always manually check the tightness of the screws before washing the car, avoid using excessive water pressure on the plate area, and make it a habit to glance at the plate when parking to ensure it's secure. Otherwise, the risk of driving with a loose plate is high—getting caught by traffic cameras and losing points would be a significant loss. Small details in safe driving should never be overlooked.

According to fuel safety regulations, national standards stipulate that the nominal capacity of automotive fuel tanks is 95% of the rated capacity.

As a new car designed specifically for Chinese consumers, the Volkswagen Lavida maintains the excellent quality of German design while incorporating many aesthetic concepts that reflect traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements. With its forward-looking design language, the Lavida injects a sense of luxury and grandeur into the A-segment compact car category, redefining consumers' traditional impressions of the A-segment market. 2. The upgraded front fascia is one of the Lavida's highlights. The signature horizontal grille has been proportionally enlarged, and the engine hood features four prominent character lines that complement the grille, creating a sharper overall appearance and enhancing the sense of horizontal expansion. The newly designed eagle-eye-style dual-wing headlights boast a sharp silhouette, with a more three-dimensional structure inside the lamp housing. Although these design elements are not entirely new, the U-shaped LED daytime running lights stand out more prominently compared to the previous generation model.

1.8T fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.8L. The following is a relevant introduction about automobile fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: An important indicator to measure the fuel economy of a car. Fuel economy is usually measured by the fuel consumption of a car traveling a certain distance under specific driving conditions or the distance a car can travel with a certain amount of fuel. China and Europe use the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers (L/100km) to evaluate the fuel economy of a car. 2.
