In our country, the license plate is like a person's ID card, which has a unique role in identifying the vehicle. Therefore, the management of license plates can be said to be tight, and any attempt to play with "fake plates", forge license plates or cover license plates will be severely punished by law. What you may not know, however, is that even the slightest misfit in the way a license plate is installed can lead to fines and demerit points.
Let's take Mr. Zhang's experience as an example, he was driving leisurely one day, but was stopped by the traffic police comrade with a wave of his hand, the reason was that there was a problem with the installation of his license plate, and he had to face a one-time deduction of 12 points. Mr. Zhang was confused, saying that his license plate was installed immediately after receiving it from the traffic management office, and the screws used were also provided by the traffic management department. However, the traffic police pointed out that according to the regulations, Mr. Zhang's model should be equipped with 4 screws at the front and rear, a total of 8, but he only used 2 screws at the front and rear, which was obviously not in accordance with the rules.
In this regard, Mr. Zhang was quite aggrieved, saying that the traffic management office only gave him four screws at that time, and he thought it was enough. The traffic police explained that the traffic management office did not make an accurate prediction for each model when issuing screws, and if the owner found that the screws were not enough, he should take the initiative to apply for them, and the traffic management office would provide them free of charge. As soon as the words fell, a dramatic scene appeared - Mr. Zhang found that the traffic police comrade's vehicle was also only installed with two screws! After a closer inspection, there are clearly two reserved screw holes under the vehicle, and four screws should be installed. Now it was the turn of the traffic police comrades to be speechless.
In the face of this sudden situation, the traffic police comrade admitted that it was caused by negligence at work, and revoked the penalty decision for Mr. Zhang, and hoped that the relevant departments could pay attention to the shortcomings of this provision and make clear provisions on the specific requirements for the installation of license plates, so as to avoid innocent damage to the driver.
Through this case, we can see that in the face of strict traffic laws, the devil is in the details. According to statistics, there are many misunderstandings and penalties caused by irregular license plate installation every year, which also reminds us that while abiding by traffic rules, we need to be familiar with and understand every detailed rule. Imagine if each traffic control could automatically equip the vehicle with the appropriate number of screws, or if the owner was clearly informed of the correct installation method and the number of screws required at the time of license plate issuance, many of these oolong incidents could be avoided.
