Speeding with temporary license plates can be captured, and points will be deducted. Here are specific details about temporary plates: 1. Regulations: Speeding violations with temporary vehicle license plates will result in point deductions, though fines may not always be imposed. If the speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, a warning will be issued without a fine; exceeding by 10% or more will incur a fine. Temporary license plates are provisional plates issued by the vehicle management office according to regulations and hold the same validity as formal plates before obtaining them. Therefore, using temporary plates still requires adherence to traffic laws. 2. Validity Period: The validity of temporary license plates does not exceed 30 days, and for new cars, it cannot exceed 15 days. Hence, it is necessary to apply for formal plates from the vehicle management authority within the validity period. Driving with expired temporary plates will result in penalties such as vehicle impoundment, fines, and point deductions.
I was thinking about this the other day when I was driving a temporary-plate car on the highway. The high-definition cameras in the traffic police system are no joke. Although temporary plates aren't as noticeable as metal ones, the VIN, vehicle model characteristics, and even the driver's face can be captured clearly. Nowadays, surveillance systems are all interconnected—once you're caught speeding, it's directly linked to your driver's license info. Points will still be deducted. When I went to register my plates, I got 6 points deducted for speeding during the temporary plate period. Handling violations for temporary-plate vehicles is actually more troublesome than for regular plates because data synchronization takes time—sometimes you won't receive the notification until half a month later. So don't believe the myth that temporary plates are some kind of talisman. Speeding is just playing with safety.
