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.

A while ago, I just got a new car and was using temporary license plates for commuting. At that time, I felt a bit lucky, thinking that temporary plates wouldn’t be easily noticed. However, after chatting with a friend, I learned that last year he was caught speeding by a camera while using temporary plates. He later received a fine of 200 yuan and had 3 points deducted, which even caused his new car insurance premium to increase. So now, I drive carefully no matter what kind of plates I have—the key is to follow the rules and avoid taking risks. The recognition system for cars with temporary plates isn’t as weak as one might think; it’s easy to get into trouble if you’re not careful on the road. I often remind myself to pay more attention to speed limit signs, control my speed, and ensure safety—that’s the real way to save money and avoid headaches.

I have been paying close attention to traffic regulations. According to national traffic safety laws, all vehicles on the road, regardless of license plate type, are subject to the same penalties for speeding. Temporary license plates have identifiable codes, and once caught speeding by electronic surveillance, the traffic police system can quickly locate the vehicle owner for penalty points and fines. Don't take chances—this is illegal behavior with consequences. It's advisable to develop the habit of driving at lower speeds, especially for new drivers using temporary plates who may be more prone to nervousness and mistakes. Familiarizing yourself with the vehicle's condition can help reduce risks.
