Can a New Car with Temporary License Plates Drive on Highways?

[VanLeonardo]

New cars with temporary license plates can drive on highways, but attention must be paid to the driving area. The paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use, also known as a temporary driving license plate, is a temporary vehicle driving certificate issued by the public security vehicle management department before the new vehicle is officially registered. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. There are four types of temporary license plates: temporary license plates for administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for cross-administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special motor vehicles. There are two commonly used types of temporary license plates: one can only be used for driving within the city roads, which is a temporary license plate for administrative jurisdictions with a sky-blue background, black characters, and black borders; the other can be used nationwide, which is a temporary license plate for cross-administrative jurisdictions with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders.
