Can Temporary License Plates Be Captured for Speeding Violations on Highways?

Driving with temporary license plates while speeding can also be captured by cameras, and according to traffic laws, penalties will apply. Below are the methods for displaying temporary license plates on vehicles: One plate: A single temporary license plate should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view. Two plates: If there are two temporary license plates, one should be placed on the front windshield, and the other on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. If there is no space on the rear windshield, the second temporary license plate should be carried in the vehicle. Below is additional relevant information: Traffic law regulations: Vehicle owners should note that temporary license plates are subject to the same traffic law regulations as regular license plates. Therefore, do not assume that temporary license plates allow for reckless behavior or that they are too small to be captured by cameras. In fact, high-definition cameras can clearly capture temporary license plates. Temporary license plates: There are two types of temporary license plates. One has a sky-blue background with black characters and black borders, and is only valid for driving within the city (local temporary license plates). The other has a brown-yellow background with black characters and black borders, and can be used for driving across cities (non-local temporary license plates).

I've been driving for over 30 years, and I can tell you that speeding with temporary license plates on highways will absolutely be caught by cameras. Don't even think about getting away with it. The camera systems operate 24/7, using speed detection radars and rapid photo capture to record vehicle details. Whether your plates are temporary or permanent, they'll be accurately identified. I remember helping a neighbor pick up his new car a few years ago - he thought his temporary plates would protect him, but he got fined and penalized for speeding, which even delayed his formal registration process. Nowadays, the equipment is even more advanced. High-definition cameras can clearly capture the windshield VIN and chassis number, with violations processed directly through the network. The key point is that temporary plate information is linked to the owner's identity, so the system automatically tracks and records violations. My advice to new drivers: don't rush to speed even in a new car. Safety first. Use the temporary plate period to develop good driving habits to avoid bigger troubles later. After all, speeding not only hurts your wallet but could also cause accidents.

As a new car owner, I was quite worried about whether speeding with temporary license plates on highways would get me caught. The answer is definitely yes, you will be photographed. Modern highway surveillance is incredibly smart, with cameras paired with sensors that scan in real-time. Whether you have temporary or permanent plates, speeding will trigger a photo capture. The system can record your speed, vehicle model, and even the driver's image, with data directly transmitted to traffic police for processing. I researched online before and found cases where friends were fined for exceeding the speed limit by over 10% with temporary plates—not to mention the impact on insurance rates, it even delayed their official license plate registration. This reminds me to drive steadily with my new car and avoid taking risks for speed. Nowadays, many highway sections are equipped with additional AI devices, making detection even more sensitive and efficient. So, temporary plates are no shield; developing a habit of safe, low-speed driving is the real key.

To be honest, after playing with and repairing cars for over a decade, the chances of getting caught speeding with temporary plates are quite high. Highway cameras don't discriminate based on license plate types—they use radar speed detection and rapid continuous shooting to record both vehicle characteristics and speed. The system can match the owner through headlight shapes or hood details. Once temporary plate information is entered into the system, traffic violations are automatically logged. During my time repairing cars, I've seen many cases of major overhauls due to speeding, and cars with temporary plates are even more prone to issues. My advice to owners: don't test the law. If you speed, you'll get caught, and subsequent fines and points are inevitable. Just drive safely and steadily.
