Can Temporary License Plates Be Captured for Traffic Violations?

[McAmy]

Generally, temporary license plates for new vehicles do not contain embedded electronic chips, so they are usually not captured by electronic traffic violation monitoring systems, mainly because the photos are too blurry. Below is relevant information about temporary license plates: 1. Placement: Temporary license plates are issued by the vehicle management office of the public security bureau before the vehicle is officially registered. For new vehicles, temporary license plates can be placed in the lower right corner of the front windshield and the lower left corner of the rear windshield, as long as they do not obstruct the view. They should not be used for more than 15 days, and the owner should promptly apply for official license plates at the vehicle management office. 2. Penalties for temporary license plates: (1) Failure to hang the temporary license plate as required will result in a 12-point deduction. (2) Covering or obscuring the temporary license plate will be penalized the same as covering an official license plate, resulting in a fine and a 12-point deduction. (3) Using an expired temporary license plate will generally result in a fine and a 12-point deduction.
