Can a New National Standard Vehicle Be Driven Without License Plates?
2 Answers
New national standard vehicles cannot be driven without license plates. You can apply for temporary license plates, which are generally valid for 30 days. If the formal license plates are not obtained after the expiration of the temporary plates, you must reapply, but the number of applications cannot exceed three times. Relevant information about temporary license plates is as follows: Introduction: Temporary license plates are paper motor vehicle plates that allow temporary road use of motor vehicles, also known as temporary driving license plates. They are temporary vehicle driving certificates issued by the public security vehicle management department for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration. Classification: The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed thirty days. There are four types: 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-type motor vehicles.
Thinking of driving your new car before getting it licensed? Don't even think about it! According to traffic regulations, all motor vehicles must display valid license plates when on public roads. Driving without them is illegal - if caught by traffic police, you could face fines ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan, or even have your vehicle impounded in serious cases. Moreover, if an accident occurs while your new car is uninsured, the claims process becomes extremely complicated. The good news is you can apply for temporary license plates. Just bring your purchase invoice, vehicle certificate, and ID to the DMV - these temporary plates (typically valid for 7 days) are specifically for driving to the licensing center. Never cut corners on this - safety comes first. Avoid unnecessary fines and complications by doing it right.
