Can a newly purchased car be driven on the road without license plates?
2 Answers
A newly purchased car cannot be driven on the road without license plates. Here are the precautions to take after buying a new car: 1. No driving without a license: You can buy a car without a driver's license, but you cannot drive the car on the road after purchase. Driving without a license is illegal. 2. License plate instructions: When registering a car after purchase, the driver's license will not be checked. After purchasing a new car, you will need your ID card, vehicle certificate, purchase invoice, tax payment certificate, insurance policy, etc. to register the car. At the vehicle management office, staff will inspect the vehicle and take photos. After the car is registered, the owner will receive the vehicle registration certificate and the vehicle license. 3. The vehicle license must be carried with the car: When driving, you need to carry both your driver's license and vehicle license. During the probationary period, you are not allowed to drive on highways.
I've bought several cars, and I remember when I picked up my first car, I almost impulsively drove it on the road, but the salesperson warned me in advance that it's absolutely not allowed without a license plate. The law requires new cars to have temporary license plates, otherwise, the police will impose fines and deduct points. When I first started working, a friend of mine didn't take it seriously and ended up being fined 500 yuan on the highway. Fortunately, there was no accident, otherwise, the insurance wouldn't have covered it, and he would have had to bear full responsibility. This is not just a legal issue but also concerns the safety of you and others. I suggest going to the vehicle management office immediately after picking up the car to get a temporary license plate. It's usually very quick, often done within an hour, just bring your ID card and purchase invoice. Safety first, don't rush for temporary pleasure.
