Can Temporary License Plates Still Be Used After Official Plates Are Issued?
1 Answers
They can be used within the validity period, but some road traffic regulations impose restrictions on vehicles with temporary license plates. For example, elevated roads in Shanghai have such restrictions. Additional Information: New Traffic Regulations on Temporary License Plate Placement: Starting from January 1, 2011, the temporary license plates for passenger vehicles were increased from 1 to 2, and the installation method was changed from 'placing' to 'pasting' in designated positions. One plate should be pasted on the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, where it does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be pasted on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. Running a Red Light with Temporary Plates: According to the new traffic regulations, motor vehicles without license plates are not allowed on the road. New vehicles must display either official or temporary license plates to be driven on the road. Starting from January 1, 2013, driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate, or intentionally obscuring, damaging, or not installing the license plate as required, will result in a one-time deduction of 12 points.
