Can a New Car with Temporary License Plates Drive on the Highway?
1 Answers
Whether a car with temporary license plates can drive on the highway depends on the type of temporary license plate, which is distinguished by color. Temporary license plates with a sky-blue background, black characters, and black borders are only valid within the city and are referred to as local temporary license plates. Vehicles with these plates cannot travel to other regions and are subject to significant restrictions. On the other hand, temporary license plates with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders can be used for inter-city travel and are known as non-local temporary license plates. These plates allow travel to other regions, and there is no need to worry about driving on the highway. Below is additional information about license plates: 1. Temporary License Plates: The use and regulations for temporary license plates are the same as for regular license plates. It is not the case that temporary license plates exempt the vehicle from penalties. If the temporary license plates are not correctly displayed, if expired temporary license plates are used, or if any traffic law is violated, the driver will still be subject to penalties and fines. 2. Placement of Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates usually come in two pieces. One should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, ideally without obstructing the driver's view, and the other should be placed on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. If there is insufficient space to display both plates, the other temporary license plate should still be carried in the vehicle. If there is only one temporary license plate, it should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield.
