'Special-privilege' licence plates abolished
( 2003-08-20 15:51) (China Daily)
Licence plates beginning with "Liao BG" will no longer be
used in Dalian following complaints that such vehicles enjoyed certain
privileges because of their association with members of law enforcement, reports
Xinhua.
The BG series of plates used to appear exclusively on police vehicles, for
which special parking perks were taken for granted and traffic-rule violations
were frequently waived.
But some of the plates made their way onto non-police vehicles whose owners
had connections, causing widespread complaints from the public.
Now that the privileged licence plates have been abolished, police cars that
violate traffic rules will receive the same treatment as ordinary vehicles,
police said.
