How Long Can a Newly Purchased Motorcycle Be Driven Without License Plates?
1 Answers
Newly purchased motorcycles cannot be driven on the road without license plates. Otherwise, 12 points will be deducted from the driver's license, and a fine will be imposed. However, there are two opportunities to apply for temporary license plates, each valid for 15 days. Eligibility and Scope for Applying for Temporary License Plates: When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office where the vehicle was purchased. If the vehicle is being transferred and the official license plate has been surrendered, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location. The process and procedures for applying for temporary license plates include: The applicant must provide a letter of introduction from their unit, proof of vehicle origin, the vehicle's certificate of conformity, and other relevant documents (except for the letter of introduction, which will be archived, the rest will be returned to the applicant). The application must specify the starting and ending locations of the vehicle's journey and the duration of the temporary license plate. After review by the management staff and a satisfactory vehicle inspection, the temporary license plate will be issued, with the validity period and route clearly indicated. Method for Attaching Temporary License Plates: Two temporary license plates must be attached: one should be placed on the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view and should not be covered by the compulsory insurance label. The other should be placed on the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle.
