Can a car be driven without temporary license plates?
1 Answers
New cars without license plates are not allowed to be driven on the road. Before obtaining official license plates, temporary vehicle license plates must be applied for in accordance with regulations. Otherwise, driving without plates will result in the vehicle being impounded by the public security traffic management department, a fine, and 6 points deducted from the driver's license. Vehicles must have license plates, and even without official plates, temporary plates are required. Applying for temporary plates does not require vehicle inspection; you only need to bring your ID card, compulsory traffic insurance certificate (no vehicle inspection needed), invoice, and vehicle qualification certificate to the vehicle management office for processing, which is usually completed on the same day. With temporary plates, the vehicle can be driven on the road. Generally, regular 4S dealers will assist buyers in traveling between the insurance company and the dealer to help them obtain compulsory traffic insurance and temporary plates. Only after obtaining compulsory traffic insurance and temporary plates can the purchased car be driven out of the dealer's parking lot. If a dealer knowingly allows a buyer to take delivery of a car without compulsory traffic insurance and temporary plates, it violates Article 22 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, which states that no one may force, instruct, or condone a driver to violate road traffic safety laws, regulations, and vehicle safety driving requirements. Violators will be fined. Without temporary or official plates, the penalty includes a fine and 6 points deducted from the driver's license. As long as a new car is driven on the road, temporary plates must be obtained. Normally, new car owners should promptly apply for temporary plates after obtaining the vehicle invoice, new car qualification certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. Vehicles without temporary plates are not allowed on the road.
