Can speeding with temporary license plates be captured and penalized?
2 Answers
Speeding with temporary license plates can be captured and penalized. Below is relevant information about temporary license plates: 1. Types: The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed thirty days. There are four types: temporary license plates for administrative districts, temporary license plates for cross-administrative districts, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special motor vehicles. 2. Placement: Two temporary license plates must be displayed simultaneously. One should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and must not be covered by the compulsory traffic insurance label. The other should be affixed to the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle.
I enjoy tinkering with car electronics and have some knowledge about traffic cameras. Although temporary license plates are just stuck on the windshield, their numeric codes are just like regular plates and can be recognized by road cameras. Those high-definition cameras use optical character recognition to capture license plates. Once you speed, the system automatically records the speed and vehicle details, and the police will mail out fines and demerit points based on the vehicle owner information registered to the temporary plate. Don’t assume temporary plates are stealthy—technology is advanced now, and I’ve seen many cases online where drivers got fined for violations caught on camera with temp plates. My advice? Even during the break-in period for a new car, obey speed limits and develop good driving habits to avoid racking up violations before the permanent plates arrive.
