BEIJING, April 18 (Xinhua) -- China's traffic management authority has designed special plates for new energy vehicles to help traffic police differentiate them from standard cars.
The Traffic Management Bureau under the Ministry of Public Security said on Monday that the new plates will be green in color compared to the standard blue. They will include a Chinese character short for the provincial region where they are issued, and seven numbers and letters, compared to six on standard plates.
It is important that police can recognize new energy vehicles in order to enforce the preferential policies that some local authorities apply to greener cars to help cut emissions and ease traffic.
For example, conventional vehicles are banned from central Beijing for one day of each week, but there are no limits on electric vehicles.
The bureau issued three designs for the new plates and are consulting the public on which they prefer.
At the end of last year, China had over 332,000 registered electric vehicles and 251,000 with hybrid power sources.
The country is using subsidies and other measures to encourage drivers to turn to new energy vehicles, aiming to have five million produced and sold by 2020.
Horse racing is a very competitive sport. Race horses are athletes at the peak of their physical perfection. It takes a lot of training to get them ready for race day. One of the most enjoyable aspects of horse racing is watching these beautiful animals doing what they do best.. Horses have such beautiful gaits. The way they carry themselves when their strides are fully extended is one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. . Imagine horses racing at speeds of 40 miles an hour with 130 pounds on their back while competing with other horses to win the horse race. What makes this sport so beautiful compared to other sports (football Manuel Locatelli AC Milan Jersey , baseball, basketball, hockey or golf) is that in no other sport is the athlete required to exert so much energy and effort for such a period of time. Horse racing requires these magnificent animals to carry weights, including the jockey M'Baye Niang AC Milan Jersey , and in some cases above 130 pounds at speeds of approximately 40 miles per hour.
I have watched many so-called professional gamblers or individuals who love to bet on horses and follow the racing circuit everywhere. These individuals, so-called professional handicappers, try to make a living on betting, wagering and picking winners. Events like the Kentucky Derby that takes place the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs are places where you will see hoards of people gathering to see the best of horses compete with each other. Thoroughbred race horses are the fastest breed of horses. They say you can determine a champion race horse by looking in his eyes. These race horses will show expressions of strength and dominance.
