Q: Private taxis changing number plates on every journey ?
Hi , I travel quite a bit by private taxi between Chinese cities , its quick and convenient and you travel in a nice car
what does mystify me is this , why do the drivers "change their license plates 2,3,4 times on a journey ? I just take the ride and dont ask , but who does know the answer ?

Its many reasons...
1. They are changing to fake Army car nameplate while entering expressway. This is to save toll fee.. Army Cars no need pay toll.. When come out of expressway they will change back as normal police might catch.
2. They change to a fake number to run through expressawy toll.. use fake plate.. then follow the car in front.. follow close and pass before the toll gate closes again.. There are camera installed.. so fake numberplate is required..
3. They ride fast on expressway.. so with fake numberplate no need care speed cameras... soe guys just place 1-2 CD on top of number plate for this also..
Thats all i know... Hope this answers your question
