The gradient green license plate of new energy vehicles has always been a hot topic among netizens. Many car owners think that this color matching does not match the color of the car body. Driven by this aesthetic prejudice, some car owners actually used their brains to try to change the appearance of their license plates through illegal means.
Recently, the traffic police in Liuzhou, Guangxi discovered a special car during an electronic surveillance inspection. The color of the number plate of this new energy vehicle is extremely abnormal. It should have been a bright gradient green background, but it has turned into a style similar to black characters on a white background. In the traffic flow, this number plate looked particularly dazzling, attracting the attention of the police.
The police handling the case immediately launched an investigation and summoned the relevant car owners. When questioned by the police, the car owner initially tried to get away with making up lies. He argued that the discoloration of the license plate was due to the use of strong chemical detergents during the car wash, which caused the color to fade accidentally without his knowledge.
However, the truth soon came to light upon further inspection. When the police searched the interior of the vehicle, they accidentally discovered two intact and brightly colored original green license plates of the same number. This discovery directly exposes the car owner’s lie about accidental fading and confirms his subjective and intentional behavior.
In the face of irrefutable evidence, the car owner finally revealed the truth. It turned out that he saw someone showing off the effect of a white license plate on a social platform, and felt that this color scheme was more advanced and better-looking than the original green one. In order to blindly follow the so-called fashion trends, he specifically consulted online merchants and obtained fading treatment methods.
Under the guidance of the merchant, he deliberately chemically treated the original green license plate. This kind of behavior that openly challenges the bottom line of the law in order to satisfy vanity and aesthetic preferences is not only a disregard for traffic regulations, but also a provocation to the public safety management system.
According to the police's identification, this behavior constituted intentional defacement of the motor vehicle license plate. According to the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the traffic control department imposed a severe penalty on the car owner, including a fine of 200 yuan and 9 points on the driver's license. At the same time, the police confiscated the pair of illegally processed number plates on the spot.
Car owners are ordered to immediately replace the original number plate with a intact one that meets legal standards. The traffic police department solemnly reminds that motor vehicle number plates are the legal identification of the vehicle, and any form of unauthorized modification, smearing or physical blocking is a serious illegal act. The majority of car owners should establish a correct legal awareness and never touch the legal red line in pursuit of so-called individuality.
