1. License plate
A license plate (also called a number plate or registration plate) is a metal or plastic plate attached to a vehicle that displays a unique identification number issued by a government authority. It serves as the vehicle’s official ID for legal and administrative purposes.
- Identifies the vehicle for law enforcement, tolls, and parking systems.
- Links the vehicle to its owner and registration records.
- Helps in tracking stolen vehicles or investigating traffic violations.
- Usually mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle (rear only in some places).
- Every vehicle must have a visible, valid plate when on public roads.
- Driving without a plate or with a fake/expired one can lead to fines or penalties.
- Plates must be kept clean, readable, and properly attached.
