One temporary vehicle license plate should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view. The other plate should be affixed to the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. Below are the conditions for applying for temporary license plates: 1. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to another location, you need to apply for a temporary license plate at the vehicle management office in the purchase location. 2. If the vehicle is being transferred and the official license plate has been surrendered, you need to apply for a temporary license plate at the local vehicle management office to drive back to your home location. 3. For new vehicles in the local area that have not yet obtained an official license plate and need to be driven to another location for modifications, you must apply for a temporary license plate locally. After modifications are completed, apply for a temporary license plate at the modification location to drive back to the original area.

I remember when I got my temporary license plate for the first time, the salesperson explained the placement in detail: it must be placed in the lower right corner inside the front windshield and the lower left corner of the rear windshield, making sure it's visible and not obstructed. I secured it firmly with transparent tape and drove for a week without any issues. Never place it on the car door or seat, otherwise, if caught by traffic police, you could face fines and delays. It's recommended to fix it properly as soon as you buy a new car and check it before hitting the road to avoid any mishaps.

As a beginner, my experience is to place the temporary license plate at the lower right of the front windshield and the lower left of the rear windshield. The 4S store staff taught me step by step to secure it firmly with transparent tape, avoiding double-sided tape to prevent residue. It didn't fall off at all when I drove on the highway, safe and worry-free. Remember to keep the license plate numbers clear and don't let it curl up to obstruct the view. If placed randomly, the police might have a 'chat' with you, as my car dealer friend warned.

Placing temporary license plates is simple: affix them to the lower right corner of the front windshield and the lower left corner of the rear windshield using clear tape. I always check if the tape is secure to prevent them from flying off while driving. Incorrect placement can lead to fines or cause accidents. Before each drive, take a quick glance to ensure they're clearly visible. Safety comes first—don't be lazy and cover them with clutter.

The Correct Operation Method for Automatic Transmission Vehicles When Stopping at Traffic Lights

The correct operation method for automatic transmission vehicles when stopping at traffic lights is to shift into neutral and apply the handbrake or electronic brake. Shifting into neutral can cut off the engine's power and save fuel, while the handbrake mainly prevents the vehicle from sliding when stationary. Another method is to directly step on the brake without shifting gears, which is suitable for temporary stops. When waiting at traffic lights, different drivers may use different parking methods. For very short stops, drivers can simply step on the brake while keeping the gear in D, allowing them to drive off immediately when the light turns green without restarting. Some vehicles are also equipped with an automatic start-stop function, which primarily enhances driving safety. When the system detects that the driver needs to stop, the automatic start-stop device activates, shutting off the engine.
